In which the Mister joins me in reviewing TRADING PLACES (1983), from scriptwriters Timothy Harris and Herschel Weingrod and directed by John Landis.  In one of the best classic comedies from the 80s, Dan Ackroyd (as Louis Winthorpe III) and Eddie Murphy (as Billy Ray Valentine), put in hilarious performances as the helpless subjects of a wager by two heartless old millionaire brothers, The Dukes (Ralph Bellamy as Randolph and Don Ameche as Mortimer)  looking to answer the age old question of nature versus nurture.  This film clocks in at 1 h and 56 m, is rated R and is currently streaming on AMC+, Paramount+ but also to buy/rent off Prime Video.  Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.
