Flames on the Side of My Face - Clue (8/9) Movie CLIP (1985) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Mrs. White (Madeline Kahn) describes the intense hatred that drove her to murder Yvette (Colleen Camp).

FILM DESCRIPTION:
In this spoof of McCarthy-era paranoia and 1950s wholesomeness, the characters and plot are drawn from the popular Parker Brothers board game of the same name. On a dark and stormy night in 1954, six individuals with ties to Washington are assembled for a dinner party at the swanky mansion of one Mr. Boddy (Lee Ving). Boddy's butler, Wadsworth (Tim Curry), assigns each guest a colorful name: Mr. Green (Michael McKean), Col. Mustard (Martin Mull), Mrs. Peacock (Eileen Brennan), Professor Plum (Christopher Lloyd), Miss Scarlet (Lesley Ann Warren), and Mrs. White (Madeline Kahn). Two additional servants, the Cook (Kellye Nakahara) and Yvette, the maid (Colleen Camp), assist Wadsworth as he informs the guests that they have been gathered to meet the man who has been blackmailing them: Mr. Boddy. When Boddy turns up dead, however, the guests must try to figure out who killed him so they can protect their own reputations and keep the body count from growing. Three separate endings were filmed for Clue and shown in different theaters; all three are collected for the video edition. Although the film is set in the 1950s, the original Clue game was actually devised by Anthony Pratt, a clerk in Leeds, England, to pass the time during World War II air-raid drills. First released in 1946 under the name Cluedo by British manufacturer Waddington's, Clue was renamed and released in the U.S. in 1949. Today, Clue/Cluedo is marketed in 70 countries around the world and has been adapted into a British game show and an off-Broadway musical.

I love how it seems like she's going to do the big Poirot "murderer speech" and then she just comes out with the most idiotic justification for the murder you've ever heard. Brilliant film.

[stellastrange]

I love how Tim just casually drops Madeleine on the stairs 😂

[KittyxGrimm]

Tim Curry is just a joy to watch in this movie. He's so full of energy!

[DanielSelk]

"I hated her SO...MUCH that it-it, flame-flames...FLAMES on the side of my face..." XD

[exiledingeeksville]

True story,   this was the only improv in the whole movie.

[Tallster]

Madeline Kahn improvised the "flames" part!! It wasn't in the script! So funny XD

[sarahmaske]

God, I just love Madeline Kahn! She was so talented and funny! I also love the little run into the dining room and the drop on the stairs!

[NathanDav]

Casts deserve some kind of special Oscar for being able to keep it together during brilliant improv monologues like Madeline Kahn’s truly classic one here.

[Texan]

Madeline Khan in this film was the best. This one scene always gets me going. And if you look at the faces of everyone else they are trying so hard not to lose it.

[Hsjfiwbrbffbabs]

“Yes, yes I did it. I killed Yvette. I hated her SO much, it-it flamed- flames, FLAMES on the side of my face. Breathing- breathle- heating breaths, heating breathles-“ -Mrs. White

[TheSaneHatter]

NOTHING ever embarrassed Madeline Kahn, or threw her off.

[the.seagull.]

1:23 Lmao he just leaves her on the stairs

[McQueenPress]

Love this movie! My only regret is that Wadsworth didn't allow Mrs. White to tell us even more about the flames on her face. She's wound so tight! FLAMES! Burning white flames scorching and melting and FLAMES all over...

[imjunipernow]

How can I make her "flames" monologue my ring tone?

[bricenojose]

Tim currys face when Mrs white is saying the flames thing is so funny 🤣

[XAbbeldydooX]

Loved her in this film.She knew how to accentuate a scene without overpowering it or underdelivering.Incredibly talented and underrated actress.

[fuzzyscarfandmittens]

This movie is such a gem with so many great performances but that one scene with Madeline Khan never fails to get a chuckle out of me.

R.I.P. Madeline. You were taken from us too soon.

[dmulk]

I love how Wadsworth doesn't even stop when Miss White trips on the stairs! Hilarious!

[nancyjuniperwands]

I want Mrs. White's speech as my new ringtone.

[outcognito_]

This had me rolling, me and my mom watched this the other day and I was like "This was NOT scripted, I can tell by how they're looking at her😂" it was so funny
