Doctor Detroit
A pimp on the run trusts his prostitutes to a meek professor of literature, who accepts the challenge. Clifford Skridlow teaches at a small Chicago college run by his father. Conned into managing four prostitutes by their pimp, who skips town to escape the mob boss known as Mom, Clifford draws on his course in medieval literature in his quest to save the women from Mom. —<rth@ece.arizona.edu> Comedy superstar Dan Aykroyd stars as a mild-mannered professor of chivalry and an infamous underworld pimp in this hilarious comic romp. When Professor Clifford Skridlow (Aykroyd) accidentally gets conned into taking on the persona of "Doctor Detroit," he soon finds himself up to his neck in luscious ladies, the Chicago Mob, and a notorious crime czar called "Mom" (Kate Murtagh). It's comedic chaos all the way as Aykroyd attempts to juggle two very different career paths without losing his life or his mind. From the producers of The Blues Brothers (1980), and co-starring Donna Dixon and Fran Drescher, comes the laugh-out-loud film about a man committed to making the world safe for insanity. —Anonymous
