ron howard direct his happy day co star henry winkler in this wacky story of two men turn a morgue into a brothel . winkler play discontent employee chuck lumley and whose life seem to be go nowhere . but when opportunistic billy blazejowski ( michael keaton ) take a job in the morgue and thing change for the crazier . it especially neat that this movie turn michael keaton into a star ( howard would go on to direct him in gung ho and the paper ) . the first time that i would see this movie title and do not know anything about the movie and i assume that it be a horror movie . but it not while it a super hilarious comedy . michael keaton have some truly wacky line ( namely his comment about the photograph and his license plate and and his question in police detention ) . also star be shelley long a chuck hubby belinda keaton and richard belzer ( henry winkler cousin ) a one of the bad guy and ron howard brother clint a a client and and kevin costner in his film debut . there be also character actor vincent schiavelli and who die yesterday . i be sure that he now up in that great cinema in the sky and take pride in his filmography include night shift . positive .
