Before he was Shrek, Eddy Murphy was Billy Ray Valentine, a poor down on his luck rogue who couldn’t catch a break. Things all changed when he bumped into Louis Winthrop III (Dan Aykroyd) and a hilarious rag to riches comedy of errors unfolded. Trading Places is classic 80’s humor that Almar Halfildason of BBC.com called “one of the best comedies of the 1980s, featuring a cast at the height of their powers.”
