Synopsis
Jonathan Lynn (My Cousin Vinnie and co-creator of Yes, Minister) directs Christopher Lloyd, Tim Curry and Madeline Kahn in this murderously funny movie based on the world-famous Cluedo board game.

On a dark and stormy night in 1954, six individuals with ties to Washington are assembled for a dinner party at the swanky mansion of one Mr Boddy (Lee Ving). Boddy's butler, Wadsworth (Tim Curry), assigns each guest a colourful name: Mr Green (Michael McKean), Col. Mustard (Martin Mull), Mrs Peacock (Eileen Brennan), Professor Plum (Christopher Lloyd), Miss Scarlet (Lesley Ann Warren), and Mrs White (Madeline Kahn) as he informs the guests that they have been gathered to meet the man who has been blackmailing them.

Trivia: Three separate endings were filmed for Clue and shown in different theatres; although the film is set in the 1950s, the original Clue game was actually devised by Anthony Pratt, a clerk in Leeds, England, to pass the time during World War II air-raid drills; first released in 1946 under the name Cluedo by British manufacturer Waddington's, Clue was renamed and released in the US in 1949.
