Night Shift is the 1982 Ron Howard comedy starring Henry Winkler, Michael Keaton and Shelley Long, about two New York morgue attendants who turn their workplace into the unlikely headquarters for an escort business.

POSTER DESIGN FEATURES: Bold red, purple and white Australian Daybill featuring large photographic images of Henry Winkler and Shelley Long against a Manhattan skyline, with smaller scenes from the film across the lower section. Bright yellow title lettering and the strong red border give the poster a distinctive early-1980s comedy look.

COLLECTOR'S NOTE: Particularly collectible as Michael Keaton's first starring feature-film role, alongside Happy Days star Henry Winkler, and an early directing credit for Ron Howard. The film also contains small early appearances by Kevin Costner and Shannen Doherty.
