Clue (1985)

About

Clue is campy, high-styled escapism. In a short 87 minutes that just zip by, the well-known board game’s one-dimensional card figures like Professor Plum and others become multi-dimensional personalities with enough wit, neuroses and motives to intrigue even the most adept whodunnit solver.” — Variety

SYNPOSIS

Initially a flop released into a crowded Christmas corridor, Jonathan Lynn’s zany, camp-inflected adaptation of the classic Hasbro board game has since become a bona fide cult favorite, and more or less the gold standard for this sort of thing. Rather than simply staging a murder mystery, Lynn filters the film through the visual language of the Old Dark House thriller and Golden Age whodunits, turning shadowy corridors, secret passages, and thunderclaps into comic ammunition. But more than anything, Clue is an excuse to lock some of the great character actors of the era (including Tim Curry, Madeline Kahn, and Christopher Lloyd, and Lesley Ann Warren) inside one mansion and let the chaos unfold.
