Clue

This darkly comedic adaptation of the popular Parker Brothers board game takes a page from the spate of Agatha Christie book-to-screen projects of the 1970s. Convening a murderer’s row of ’80s comedic actors, this cult-favorite whodunit may have been considered middling upon its release but soon found its adoring audience on home video and through revival screenings. This DCP from Paramount features all three endings shown sequentially, as they were presented during television broadcasts of the film and as featured on home video releases.
