[quote]Clue is a 1985 comedy film based on the board game of the same name. The film is a murder mystery set in a Gothic Revival mansion, and is styled after Murder by Death (which also featured Clue star Eileen Brennan) and other various murder/dinner parties of mystery. The film was directed by Jonathan Lynn, who collaborated on the script with John Landis, and stars Tim Curry, Eileen Brennan, Martin Mull, Lesley Ann Warren, Christopher Lloyd, Michael McKean, and Madeline Kahn. The film was produced by Debra Hill.
In keeping with the nature of the board game, in theatrical release the movie was shown with one of three possible endings, with different theatres receiving each ending. (In the film's home video release, all three endings were included.) The film did poorly at the box office and received mixed reviews, ultimately grossing $14.6 million domestically.[/quote]
First Half of the Plot
[quote]In 1954, against a backdrop of McCarthyism, six strangers are invited to a party in a secluded New England mansion. They are met by the house butler, Wadsworth (Tim Curry), who reminds them each that they have been given pseudonyms to protect their true identity. During dinner the seventh guest, Mr. Boddy, arrives. After dinner, Wadsworth reveals the true nature of the party: all of the guests are being blackmailed to hide their secrets.
* Mrs. White (Madeline Kahn) was drawn in to avoid a scandal regarding the mysterious death of her nuclear physicist husband who knew the secret of the next Hydrogen bomb.
* Professor Plum (Christopher Lloyd), a psychiatrist, who lost his license because he had sex with his female patients. He was assigned to the World Health Organization.
* Mrs. Peacock (Eileen Brennan), a Senator's wife, has accepted bribes to deliver her husband's vote.
* Miss Scarlet (Lesley Ann Warren) operates an illegal bordello in Washington, DC.
* Colonel Mustard (Martin Mull) was a war profiteer who made his money from selling stolen radio components on the black market and works at The Pentagon.
* Mr. Green (Michael McKean) is homosexual, a secret that would cost him his job with the State Department if it were widely known.[/quote]
