The 1985 film 'Clue' has found a new class of fans in the age of streaming. Lesley Ann Warren, who played Miss Scarlet, answered every last question we had about the whodunnit (and the reboot currently in production)
Photo-Illustration: Vulture; Photo by Paramount Pictures There’s a one-plus-two-plus-two-plus-one chance that Clue has reentered your cinematic orbit over the past few years, with the 1985 comedic whodunnit, like one of Wadsworth’s decanted wines, aging into a full-bodied cult classic destined for further greatness.
You said that you weren’t familiar with the board game, but I’m curious what your initial reaction was to learning that Clue, as a game itself, was being adapted into a film. It seems so common for Hollywood now, but that type of adaptation wasn’t the norm in the ’80s. Way too many miles. [Laughs.] I’d be out of breath sometimes. Because it was three and a half months of filming, we did so many takes — we had to, in a way, because there were so many people and so many characters in one shot. The interesting thing about all that running was that Michael Kaplan, the costume designer, had designed me this gorgeous dress that looked like it was about to fall off at any moment. Which it never did, thankfully.
I was also intrigued by that, but he never did tell us. Jonathan is a very prolific writer who’s also very educated, very cultured, and someone who’s very interested in politics. I’m sure that his propensity for all of that impacted the direction that he chose to go with Clue. We all, whether consciously or subconsciously, were affected by his vision.
It’s funny, because I watched Clue about a month ago. I turned on my television and it happened to be on at that very moment. My husband and I sat down and watched it again. I hadn’t seen it in a couple of years. I was laughing my head off watching it again. It’s truly for me one of the funniest, cleverest, joy-filled ensemble comedic works that I’ve seen.
I do think it was an innovative idea for a film. I was definitely disappointed that people didn’t want to go back and see the movie with a different ending, but I understand it. Hell, you’d have to buy three tickets. And I think you’re right. With the advent of streaming or television viewing … Clue being in circulation a lot on TV, where people could see all the different endings at one time, was helpful. It eliminated the obstacle of having to watch it again.
