	Night Shift \| Reviews \| Guardian Unlimited Film
		Night Shift is set in a small French town where the pleasant, reserved Pierre (Gérald Laroche) takes a job on the production line at a small, automated bottling factory.
		On Pierre's first night at the factory, a burly co-worker, Fred (Marc Barbé), needles him over his prudery in removing a predecessor's nude photographs from his locker door.
		What makes the matter more complicated is that Fred, on the face of it a dangerous sociopath, is a sad loser, deserted by his wife, insecure in his work, occasionally acting decently, and possibly envious of the settled Pierre.

		Night Shift is Stephen King's first collection of short stories, and features 20 tales.
		Night Shift, which was first published in 1976, is the first of King's short story collections, bringing together twenty stories originally published in such disparate magazines as Cavalier, Penthouse, and Cosmopolitan (yes, Cosmopolitan) in the early to mid 1970s.
		Children of the Corn is also a masterful tale; the film adaptation elaborately expounds upon the idea, but the core of the story and the mysterious horror of He Who Walks Behind the Rows is given a glorious birth in these pages.

	Auckland Film Society Night Shift
		There aren't many films with the ability to grasp you by the intestines and twist inexorably, for an hour and a half.
		When he's off-screen the viewer breathes a sigh of relief; when he's around, the film exudes a tangible undercurrent of unease… Adding further power is the totally naturalistic way in which the drama – inspired by a true news story ten years ago – is presented.
		Le Guay has said he sees the film almost as a traditional, good sheriff vs. bad guy western but, aside from the climactic sequence, played out in the surrounding woods, there's little sense of artifice in either performances or structure.

	Night Shift Movie: Night Shift DVD is available from Bestprices.com
		A mismatched pair of New York City morgue workers, hopelessly stuck working the night shift, decide to make a little extra cash during those long, late-night hours--they set up a call-girl service, becoming the funniest love brokers in the Big Apple.
		NIGHT SHIFT was a HAPPY DAYS reunion of sorts for Howard: Former costar Henry Winkler (Arthur Fonzarelli) stars in the film, and HAPPY DAYS producers Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel wrote the screenplay.
		Ron Howard's riotous comedy is about two men--one's a milquetoast, the other is beyond hyperactive--who work the night shift in a morgue.

	JoBlo reviews the movie "Night Shift"
		A shy, timid man works in a morgue during the night shift, and can't seem to ever stand up for himself.
		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.

		Cruise became a teen idol in Risky Business, Freeman was Oscar nominated for a little-seen thriller called Street Smart and Keaton made a major splash with his debut in Night Shift, an comedy about a couple of Manhattan morgue attendants who use their hearses to drive call girls as well as corpses.
		Making Night Shift, his first major film as director after a handful of TV and exploitation movies, Howard cast his Happy Days co-star Henry Winkler as Chuck Lumley, a timid civil servant a million miles from the Fonz.
		Night Shift is a terrific comedy which doesn't deserve the semi-obscurity it's fallen into and I see it as my duty as a reviewer to bring little gems like this to your attention.

		Apparently a 30 minute film was made of this one, though I've never seen any reference to it outside King paraphernalia.
		Another of the many Night Shift stories to be filmed, this concerns a teacher whose brother's killers won't stay dead.
		Yeah, there was that film with the strangely familiar title, but I believe King got rid of his name from the credits due to it having nothing to do with the story.

		Studies show that one night's loss of sleep results in a 30 percent drop in cognitive performance, rising to 60 percent after two nights.

	DVD.net : Night Shift - DVD Review
		Night Shift is a flick that conjured up remarkably fond memories, and one which I must have viewed an alarming number of times in my younger days as I remembered almost every line in it.
		Both ratios tend to have fairly similar traits, and for a film that’s now 20 years old it exhibits a lot of those signs that you would expect, with what can best be described as a somewhat ’80s-ish look to things.
		Black levels are pretty good throughout, and whilst things tend not to be razor sharp by any means the picture is still pretty reasonable, bar for an often alarming amount of white speckles which tend to ebb and flow throughout, plus the odd bigger scratchy visual invaders at times.

		Adam Sandler and Pauly Shore can only DREAM of being as funny as Michael Keaton in "Night Shift." Keaton's hilarious performance only serves to underscore the fact that he's never been near as funny since.
		I recommend this film if you have any craziness to your sense of humor, or just if you're a male between the ages of 17 and 25.

		In a bottle factory in a French provincial industrial town, Pierre (Gerald Laroche) switches to the night shift to earn more money for his wife Carole (Luce Moucel) and 12-year-old son Victor (Bastien Le Roy).
		Philippe Le Guay is a critic-turned-director, who has tried to make a strange hybrid of a film, a psychological thriller shot in a naturalistic style.
