Trading Places (1983)
Trading Places is a sharp, enduring social comedy that pairs classic farce with pointed satire, skewering class, privilege, and the myth of meritocracy with wit and warmth. Directed by John Landis and released in 1983, the film cemented Eddie Murphy as a major star and showcased the comic chemistry between Murphy and Dan Aykroyd, blending laugh out loud humor with a surprisingly biting social edge.
A rare original UK One Sheet for Trading Places (1983), starring Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy. This beautifully illustrated design captures the film’s central conceit with clever visual symmetry, placing the two leads face to face in mirrored reflections that dramatize their sudden reversal of fortune. The hand-painted artwork, expressive character detail, and bold red title typography give the poster a warmth and personality distinct from its American counterparts. Scarce and highly desirable, this UK one-sheet is a standout example of early 1980s comedy poster art and a prized collectible from a beloved classic.
