Trading Places still a classic

A pair of old codgers (Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche) swap investor Louis Winthorpe (Dan Aykroyd) for bluffer Billy Ray Valentine (Eddie Murphy) and get more than they bargain for in Trading Places Special Edition (Paramount, €24.99), an amusing tale of deception and retribution that has some really good moments.

Also stars Jamie Lee Curtis as a prostitute who befriends Aykroyd.

Extras in this double disc edition include a ‘making of’ interview and deleted scenes.

Still looks great.
