Ep. 158 - John Morris' 'Clue'
Score Cue Snapshots! • Comedy, Crime, Mystery, 11-May-2022
Because of our love of 'Sgt. Bilko', 'My Cousin Vinny', and 'The Whole Nine Yards', we felt it necessary to go back to director Jonathan Lynn's first feature film 'Clue' (1985) featuring an all-star ensemble cast which included Tim Curry and Christopher Lloyd (just to name a few).
Composer John Morris frequently collaborated with Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder, and was considered to be one of the most prolific composers in Hollywood at the time. His score to 'Clue' is a fantastic and fun example of his brilliant compositional style. Enjoy this Main Title sequence!

Some say that it is one of the most iconic themes ever composed for the genre. Based off of Akira Kurosawa's 'Seven Samurai', 'The Magnificent Seven' is considered to...
