clue cast members based on board game
This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available. Where can you find the classic mystery comedy Clue? Don't bother looking in the conservatory, the billiards room, or the study - this month, it's on Paramount+. Tim Curry, Michael McKean, and Madeline Kahn are only three members of a stellar comedy ensemble that keeps the laughs coming, even as bodies start piling up.
Based on the venerable board game of the same name, Clue was directed by Jonathan Lynn , who also co-wrote the film with John Landis. The rights to the game were acquired by longtime John Carpenter collaborator Debra Hill, who produced the film. The film had a unique promotional gimmick - the film had three different alternate endings, each with a different murderer, and all three were distributed randomly to theaters.
What Is 'Clue' About? Close Set in the 1950s during the Red Scare, Clue opens with six strangers being summoned to a remote mansion; civil servant Mr. Green , military man Colonel Mustard , socialite Mrs. Peacock , academic Professor Plum , madam Miss Scarlet , and black widow Mrs. White . There, butler Wadsworth reveals that his employer, Mr. Boddy , has been blackmailing all of them.
Possibly owing to its alternate-ending gimmick, Clue was a financial disappointment, making $14.6 million USD on a $15 million budget; it also received middling reviews. However, with all three endings stitched together on its home video release, it found a new audience on VHS, and has become a beloved cult classic. It was homaged on "100 Clues", an episode of Psych, which featured guest appearances from Mull, Warren, and Lloyd, and even had multiple alternate endings.
