Get a CLUE at SpringFilm

One movie with three endings? Enjoy a free showing of ‘CLUE’ at SpringFilm, at 6:30 p.m., Thursday, May 19 in the Wildish Community Theater. In this black comedy mystery based on the board game of the same name, six strangers (including Madeline Kahn, Christopher Lloyd and Eileen Brennan) are invited to a secluded New England Mansion – where they are given a pseudonym and a weapon by Wadsworth the butler (Tim Curry). Soon bodies start turning up as more and more secrets are revealed before the audience is treated to not one, but three alternate endings of who killed whom in which room and with what! Masks are not required to attend this showing but are welcome.

Starring Tim Curry, Eileen Brennan and Christopher Lloyd, directed by Jonathan Lynn; 94 minutes; Rated PG (1985).
