Doctor Detroit (1983)
Doctor Detroit is Dan Aykroyd’s other 1983 movie that prominently features the world’s oldest profession.
Dan Aykroyd plays a nerdy professor who, through a comedic chain of events, replaces Howard Hessman’s pimp character, to the delight of his glamorous employees.
Soon he adopts the persona of a metal-fisted weirdo named Doctor Detroit who will do anything to protect the ladies — and even leads them in a show-stopping dance number with James Brown.
One of the ladies is played by Donna Dixon (to the right of Aykroyd, above). After she and Aykroyd met onset, they were married for decades. But in the movie, Aykroyd’s character marries another of the women in his crew, played by Fran Drescher.
