CGiii Comment
The original film-from-a game - albeit a board game...Cluedo.
It borrows fiendishly from Rocky Horror - and, with Tim Curry, it is almost like a sequel without the music.
Some may find it moderately funny...but, alas, in truth, it is a mountain of screamingly camp shenanigans.

Clue is a movie about 6 guests, a butler, and a maid, who are all involved in the murders of 6 people. The guests all meet at Hill House, where you learn that Professor Plum works in D.C., where everyone else lives. Colonel Mustard is a client of Miss Scarlet, who is the ex-employer of Yvette, the maid, who had an affair with the husband of Mrs. White, etc. When Mr. Boddy, who is blackmailing each guest, gives the guests each a weapon, he tells them they should kill Wadsworth, the butler, to avoid being exposed. With Mrs. Peacock's craziness, and Mr. Green's clumsiness, the whole group finds themselves tangled in a web of murder, lies, and hilarity.
