It was a happy day for former Happy Days stars when Night Shift (1982) became a hit. After all, it meant the movie's star Henry Winkler and its director Ron Howard took another step away from being typecast for life as 1950's high schoolers, although it was a young Michael Keaton who really broke out with this one. The former Fonz plays Chuck Lomley, a man working at a New York City morgue after becoming disillusioned with his Wall Street job, despite having been hugely successful as a finance wiz. His coworkers are the owner's nephew Leonard (Bobby Di Cicco) and the peppy new kid Bill Blazejowski (Michael Keaton). But when they hear about how much Chuck's hooker neighbor Belinda (Shelley Long) is struggling with street walking, they decide they'll use Chuck's business knowledge to run their own brothel out of the morgue. Selling women's bodies instead of housing dead ones, Chuck's business expertise makes the fellas instantly successful at selling T&A, but when they're too good at the gig the gang run into all sorts of issues with cops, pissed off pimps, and Chuck's ever-increasing crush on Belinda. Are these new pimp daddies going to figure it out or are they going to be the newest bodies chilling at the morgue? A largely forgotten flick in Howard's filmography, Ron wasn't quite ready to direct a scene of Henry Winkler and Shelley Long getting it on. However, we do see Miss Long in a tight pair of panties as she bends, reaches, and does all sorts of unintentionally seductive stuff in her kitchen while cooking breakfast. Paying for it might be morally wrong, but we'd have drained our bank account for a night with Miss Long! And while it was nothing compared to the scenes she'd give us a few years later in Bachelor Party (1984), Monique Gabrielle takes her top off while being hoisted on a dude's shoulders at an equally wild fiesta. Goodbye grey skies, goodbye blue balls! Ron Howard's Night Shift will have you stiffer than the corpses in that morgue!
