Straight-laced
Henry Winkler takes a night-shift job as a morgue attendant. Winkler falls under the spell of wheeler-dealer coworker
Michael Keaton, whose catchphrase "Is this a great country or what?" is the clarion call for his many get-rich-quick schemes. His latest plan is to turn the morgue into a nocturnal brothel, for the benefit of anything-goes hooker
Shelley Long-and incidentally, to line their own pockets. Director
Ron Howard and his frequent scripters
Lowell Ganz and
Babaloo Mandel turn the potentially lurid story material of
Night Shift into an endearing comedy, with winning performances from its three often miscast stars. Keep an eye out during one of the party sequences for
Kevin Costner as a carousing college boy.
