A Review By: Kevin Lovell

Synopsis:

The very rich and extremely greedy Duke Brothers (Don Ameche and Ralph Bellamy) wager a bet over whether “born-loser” Billy Ray Valentine (Eddie Murphy) could become as successful as the priggish Louis Winthorpe III (Dan Akroyd) if circumstances were reversed.

Trading Places is presented here newly remastered from a 4K film transfer, under the supervision of director John Landis.
