In conversation with... John Landis and Deborah Nadoolman Landis on Coming to America - BFI
The director and costume designer on the Eddie Murphy classic talk about their work on the film.
In Coming to America a wealthy African prince flees to America to avoid an arranged marriage and to find a woman who will love him rather than his status. Finding lodgings in Queens and a dead-end job, he discovers that his American dream is only just beginning.
Coming to America saw Landis and Murphy reunited after Trading Places to create another box-office hit and earn their comedy genius mantles.
