Night Shift - 1982 - 6/10

Milquetoast morgue attendant is given graveyard shift.
And a new assistant, the hyper-charged Blaze (Michael Keaton, exceptional).
Soon, they concoct the money-making plan of turning the morgue into a brothel.
The hookers are fashion model dishes.
One of the attendants even falls in love with a prostitute.
Light-hearted Ron Howard comedy glosses the sleazy aspects.
Meant to be a breakout role for Henry Winkler, Keaton grabs the spotlight.
