Trading Places (1983)

Eddie Murphy plays the con-man Billy Ray Valentine and Dan Ackroyd plays a spoiled investment banker Lewis Winthorp – one is barely making it while the other is living VERY comfortably...Let's see what happens when they…..trade places! 😉 Of course, they’re not doing this on their own – it’s all plotted by the evil and powerful Duke brothers played by Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche who also get help along the way from Denholm Elliott as a wise live-in butler and Jamie Lee Curtis as a hooker with a heart of gold. If it all sounds silly and cliched, don’t worry because it’s not – as directed by John Landis, this was one of the smartest comedies of the ’80s featuring two comedic stars at the height of their careers.Host: Geoff Gershon Producer: Marlene Gershonhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Warning: Movie clips included feature profane language. #livingforthecinema #moviereviews #tradingplaces #eddiemurphy #danackroyd #jamieleecurtis #johnlandis #ralphbellamy #donameche #patrickcowley #sylvester #doyouwannafunkSend us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
