Trading Places (1983) Film4, 11.20pm ★★★★

Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd star in this uproarious morality tale in which the lives of Aykroyd’s upperclass broker and Murphy’s penniless bum unexpectedly intertwine. Pulling the strings are the Dukes (Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche), corrupt millionaires whose social experiment blows up in their faces in satisfying style. Recent Oscar-winner Jamie Lee Curtis provides spirited support.
