Trading Places (8-Jun-1983)
Director: John Landis Writers: Timothy Harris; Herschel Weingrod Music by: Elmer Bernstein Producer: Aaron Russo Keywords: Comedy, Wager, Wall Street The wealthy Duke brothers, owners of a Philadelphia commodities trading firm, conduct a Prince and the Pauper wager: they engineer a swap between Louis Winthorpe III, one of their brokers, and Billy Ray Valentine, a homeless man whom Winthorpe tried to have arrested. Nature vs. nurture -- will Valentine rise to the challenge? Pairing of Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy works spectacularly well, yielding comedy gold.
