Remembering the great Tim Curry (1946-2026)
Clue is based on the famous board game, so if you’ve ever played, you have an idea of the plot: a murder occurs, and the locale, weapon, and murderer are all unknown. The miracle here is that it all works as a movie, thanks to a stacked cast that delivers a master class in ensemble comedy. The performers—Madeline Kahn, Christopher Lloyd, Michael McKean, Lesley Ann Warren, and Martin Mull—are all great, but Tim Curry walks away with this movie in the role of Wadsworth, the smart-mouthed butler. Every single thing he says—and the way he says it—is hilarious. The movie famously sported three endings in a plot to lure return viewers to the cinema, but here at VTIFF we’ll show you all three, so you can pick your favorite.
