大逆転
After a series of failures, "Trading Places" revitalized Aykroyd's career. Throughout the 1980s, he went on to star in the blockbuster phenomenon "Ghostbusters" (1984), "Spies Like Us" (1985) and "Dragnet" (1987). He earned an Academy Award nomination for his performance in the comedy-drama "Driving Miss Daisy" (1989). "Trading Places" is considered Curtis' breakout performance, allowing her to move into films outside the horror genre; actor John Cleese cast Curtis in the 1988 heist comedy "A Fish Called Wanda" specifically because of her performance in "Trading Places". Curtis said Landis had "single-handedly changed the course of my life by giving me that part". After not working in film for more than a decade, Ameche followed "Trading Places" with the 1985 comedy-drama "Cocoon", for which he won his first and only Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
