Trading Places (4K UHD) Dan Aykroyd is Louis Winthrope, a wealthy investment firm executive. Eddie Murphy plays Billy Ray Valentine, a man who has spent his life in the ghetto. Their positions are reversed in a scheme set in motion by two greedy brothers. The price before discount is the median price for the last 90 days.
Valentine collects $1 from Winthorpe while Randolph collapses holding his chest and Mortimer shouts angrily at his brother about their failed plan. Beeks and the gorilla are loaded onto a ship heading for Africa. Meanwhile, Valentine, Winthorpe, Ophelia, and Coleman vacation on a luxurious tropical beach.
John Landis. Director. Herschel Weingrod. Screenplay. Timothy Harris. Screenplay. A snobbish investor and a wily street con-artist find their positions reversed as part of a bet by two callous millionaires.
You get a timeless comedy classic laced with sidesplitting, satiric humor. Murphy stars as a small-time con artist who gets a chance to switch lives with Aykroyd's big-time stock market maven. But their reversal of fortunes is just a cruel joke perpetrated by two bored mega-rich brothers (Don Ameche and Ralph Bellamy) as part of an idle bet.
