  Night Shift (movie) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Night Shift is a 1982 comedy film, one of Ron Howard 's earliest directorial efforts.
His displeasure at being "promoted" to night shift supervisor to make room for his boss's nephew is exacerbated by the irrational exuberance of Bill (Keaton), his new co-worker.
However, both men are inspired by the plight of Chuck's neighbor, Belinda (Long), to apply Chuck's M.B.A. education and Bill's entrepreneurial spirit to open a call girl service with headquarters at the morgue.

 JoBlo reviews the movie "Night Shift"
Take Ron Howard's Night Shift for what it is, a light hearted early eighties comedy that will be a staple in time.
Night shift is truly a sleeper of a movie that didn't get the promo's in '82 that it deserved.
This movie is a gem, which I would recommend even to the fussiest of movie buffs (even though most of them probably enjoy it as well).

From within the late night offices of a New York City mortuary, attendant and stress-exile Chuck Lumley (Winkler) is coerced into managing a group of call girls by his live-wire partner Billy 'Blaze' Blazejowski (Keaton) after nice-girl hooker Belinda Keaton (Long) and her vulnerable co-workers lose their pimp.

He gets shunted back to the night shift, where his pleasant routine (feed the plants, tidy the paperwork, listen to classical music, no excitement allowed) is shattered when he finds himself teamed up with an obnoxious, outrageous partner, Bill Blazejowski (Keaton), who is always dreaming of success, and the way to make money.
