TRADING PLACES (1983)

Cast

Plot

For a one dollar bet on whether breeding or environmental factors are more important in determining character, two business tycoons engineer the 'trading places' of one of their young financial wizards (Aykroyd, in fine smug form) with a black low-life hustler (Murphy, at his most brilliant), and sit back to watch Murphy rise and Aykroyd fall in one of the very best comedies of modern times.
