Night
Shift (1982)
Directed by Ron
Howard
Our Price: $9.98
Directed by Ron Howard (Splash,
Cocoon), Night Shift is a breakneck comedy
rife with ideas, mostly hysterical. Henry Winkler (Happy
Days) is low-key Lumley in a delightfully offbeat
performance. Cheers alumna Shelly Long also scores in
a role light years from prim barmaid Diane. But the
casting triumph is Michael Keaton in his movie debut
as Billy Blaze, launching a rich career ranging from Beetlejuice
to Batman to Jackie Brown.

Jackie, discover the body and agree Ned would want
