Subscribe FreeTrading Places features two “Saturday Night Live” alumni, Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy. Murphy is the streetwise hustler Billy Ray Valentine and Aykroyd is Louis Winthorp II, a wealthy investment executive at Duke Brothers, a Wall Street firm. The stingy rich and wealthy Duke Brothers (Don Amache and Ralph Bellamy) wager a bet over whether born loser Valentine could become as successful as the priggish Winthorpe if circumstances were reversed. But when Valentine and Winthorpe catch on, they arrange for quite a payback surprise. This movie is a lot of fun, with great comic performances by Murphy and Aykroyd.
