Sneaky Previews

Early clips from films upcoming:
-- In Eddie Murphy’s “Coming to America,” he gives some waterfront bums a fat wad of money. The derelicts are Don Ameche and Ralph Bellamy, reprising their roles as the Duke brothers whom Murphy out-conned in “Trading Places.”
-- The narrator in Francis Coppola’s “Tucker” announces that auto maker Preston Tucker was brought to trial in the same Chicago courtroom in which Al Capone was done in. Then cut to the courthouse exterior. But anybody who knows San Francisco will recognize it as . . . the well-known S.F. Civic Center and City Hall.
-- In Disney’s “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?,” Roger’s sultry (and equally animated) wife isn’t credited, but the speaking voice is unmistakable--Kathleen Turner. She did it for “fun and friendship” for her “Romancing the Stone” director, Robert Zemeckis, said her rep.
Jessica’s singing voice is credited--to Amy Irving.
