Night Work is a 1930 English-language Comedy Romance motion picture directed by Hobart Henley and produced by Carl Laemmle and Jr. under the banner of Universal Pictures. Willie, as an assistant window-dresser, is the lowest man on the totem pole at a department store. To add insult-to-injury Willie is also the store's designated 'Fired Man.; when a disgruntled customer demands that somebody-must-be-fired, Willie is summoned and summarily fired, only to be rehired when the now-satisfied customer has departed. Willie inadvertently adopts a four-year-old orphan at a cost of ten-dollars a week, and things go from bad to worse since Willie doesn't make ten-dollars a week. But, with the help of Mary, a beautiful young nurse, Willie manages to turn some corners and improve his lot in life, albeit with some skids along the way. Written by Les Adams. Night work stars Lew Ayres, Mae Clarke, Boris Karloff, Eddie Quillan, Sally Starr, Frances Upton and Buster Slaven. The screenplay is written by Richard Schayer. Cinematography was done by Merritt B. Gerstad and editing by Maurice Pivar. The movie has a running time of 58 minutes. It was released on 3rd August 1930. Distribution rights for the motion picture were acquired by Universal Pictures.
