Clue - Enzian Theater

40^th Anniversary! 35mm Screening!

Celebrating 40-years of Enzian Theater, each month we will highlight a classic film from 1985 to illustrate the lasting impact of the films of the era and the legacy of Central Florida’s only non-profit arthouse movie theater. Thank you for being part of our 4-decade contribution to arts culture in Orlando.

Arguably the greatest cinematic adaptation of a board game ever committed to celluloid! On a rainy night filled with mystery and intrigue, seven unrelated guests gather in a Gothic New England mansion. To protect the anonymity of the eccentric, hand-picked invitees, cryptic butler Wadsworth (Tim Curry) and well-endowed French maid Yvette (Coleen Camp) have given them secret code names: Miss Scarlet (Lesley Ann Warren), Mrs Peacock (Eileen Brennan), Professor Plum (Christopher Lloyd), Colonel Mustard (Martin Mull), Mr Green (Michael McKean), Mrs White (Madeline Kahan), and Mr Boddy (Lee Ving). After exchanging the usual pleasantries to break the ice, suddenly, the lights go out, and warm, bright-red blood stains the manor’s thick carpets. Now, everyone is a suspect–each of the equally suspicious guests had a motive and the opportunity to kill. But who is the killer? Could it be the experienced Mr Green, the seductive Miss Scarlet, or could it be the butler, the usual suspect in crime novels?

1985, 94 minutes, USA, In English and French with English subtitles, Directed by Jonathan Lynn, Rated PG

“On paper, this movie should not work, but what we got was an instant classic that is eminently rewatchable and assembled one of the best funny casts ever. The energy levels of the movie are off the charts, keeping it wildly entertaining even in today's short attention span world.”
– Eric Vespe, SLASHFILM
“Clue is campy, high-styled escapism. In a short 94 minutes that just zip by, the well-known board game's one-dimensional card figures like Professor Plum and others become multi-dimensional personalities with enough wit, neuroses and motives to intrigue even the most adept whodunnit solver."
– Staff, VARIETY
”This screwball comedy turned a rainy-day board game into inspiration”
– ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
“One of the funniest movies ever made, bar none.”
– Trace Thurman, HORROR QUEERS PODCAST
