Plot:
This ain't no game! The popular game comes to life in this mystery-comedy movie with an all-star cast headed by Eileen Brennan. Six people are invited to Hill House for dinner and for a little something else. Once they arrive, they meet Wadsworth the butler, soon their host, Mr. Boddy, arrives and they all get to know one another. Professor Plum works for the UN, Mr. Green is a government agent, Mrs. Peacock is a senator's wife, Mrs. White had two husbands who disappeared under "mysterious" circumstances, Colonel Mustard is a colonel, etc., Mr. Boddy gives everyone weapons like candlestick, rope, lead pipe, wrench, revolver, and knife. Mr. Boddy switches off the lights and when they come back on, someone has killed Mr. Boddy! They then go search the house to see if it was a mysterious seventh person who done it. As they do so, other people show up at the house and soon end up dead. Wadsworth the butler has a good idea who did it, so he recreates all the events of the evening to find out who. The results in three different endings.
Cast overview, first billed only:
Eileen Brennan.... Mrs. Peacock
Tim Curry.... Wadsworth
Madeline Kahn.... Mrs. White
Christopher Lloyd.... Prof. Plum
Michael McKean.... Mr. Green
Martin Mull.... Col. Mustard
Lesley Ann Warren.... Miss Scarlet
Colleen Camp.... Yvette
Lee Ving.... Mr. Boddy
Ummm... Yeah. This movie has very little to do with the game. It's almost closer to a spoof of of And Then There Were None, at least in my opinion.

Australia had a live game show based on Cluedo. They pre-filmed the situation in the "house" then had the panel of actors playing the prof, col, etc to answer questions live. studio audience had keypads to answer and TV audience could phone in guesses using keypad selections.
Each week was a diff weapon, room and murderer. A great way to play a board game with a million other people at the same time .... lol

The reflection does not move although the lights themselves are supposedly spinning above. (more)

There was either a two part dramatisation or a short series or film on TV when I was a kid.
I'm not sure whish channel or when exactly it was on, but it was a long time ago. I'm 24 now, and must have only been10 (give or take about 3 years. like I said, very unsure of the date)

there was a british tv show called cluedo that was a drama, not a game show, that was based on the game. not sure if you can buy it on dvd though.

There is a film called clue, loosely based on the game which is really funny.
I'm sure there are lots of places you can buy it but I have linked to the amazon site where I know they sell the dvd.

What would you want a film based on the board game for?
It is a game and you can buy a pc computer game version too!
Is that not enough????????????//

yes, its horrible! you can probably get a cheap copy on ebay if you hold out. it was filmed with 3 different endings shown at random in different theatres. so much for continuity with the rest of the film.
