"Clue," released in 1985 under the direction of Jonathan Lynn, offers a funny twist on stories like “And Then There Were None” and “Murder by Death.” The film draws from the popular board game and assembles an impressive group of performers including Tim Curry, Madeline Kahn, Christopher Lloyd, Eileen Brennan, and Lesley Ann Warren. It’s enjoyable if you're looking for a lighthearted mystery set during the 1950s, largely contained within a large, gloomy mansion on a stormy evening. The film blends elements from movies like “Ten Little Indians” and “The Beast Must Die” with the humor of "The Private Eyes." I initially questioned whether Lynn and the actors could make such a limited setting engaging, but I have to say that I found myself laughing out loud multiple times—some moments were particularly memorable (like those involving corpses). The cast is wonderful to watch, and Colleen Camp stands out as the familiar French maid. However, the ending, presenting numerous possibilities for how the murders occurred, felt somewhat drawn-out. The film’s length is 1 hour 34 minutes and filming took place at Paramount Studios in Hollywood, plus the Max Busch House in Pasadena, California. Jonathan Lynn and John Landis wrote the screenplay. My rating would be somewhere between a B- and a C+.
