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. So begins one of the funniest, most outrageous comedies of the 80s, cementing Eddie Murphy’s superstar status. Alongside the street-smarts of Ophelia (Jamie Lee Curtis), Winthorpe and Valentine are a trio ready for a riotous revenge that culminates on the commodities trading floor in New York City. Trading Places is presented here newly remastered from a 4K film transfer, under the supervision of director John Landis. Special Features - NEW Filmmaker Focus: Director John Landis on Trading Places HD - Deleted Scene with optional commentary by Executive Producer George Folsey, Jr. - Insider Trading: The Making of Trading Place - Dressing the Part - The Trade in Trading Places - Trading Stories - Industry Promotional Piece - Theatrical Trailer
