Things You Missed the First Few Viewings:


Mr. Green is the only one of the 6 who doesn't take off any clothing that he starts the evening with. He doesn't even loosen his tie.

After Wadsworth tells his wife's story, Prof Plum says everything is explained, and Mrs. Peacock nods her head in agreement. Scarlett declares that nothing is explained and Peacock immediately starts shaking her head.

While its the most used room in the movie, there is actually no murders in the study. Though by the end of the movie it houses 3 corpses.

The study, conservatory, ball room and dining room are the only rooms in the game where no murders occur. Two murders occur in the hall, and one occurs outside on the front porch.

4 people use the weapons they were given, though Prof Plum kills "Mr. Boddy" with the candlestick.

"Mr. Green is the only one of the 6 who doesn't take off any clothing that he starts the evening with. He doesn't even loosen his tie."

I never noticed this one. Good eye.

When Mr. Green tells about how he's gay and being blackmailed for it, Wadsworth is flipping through his papers as if he is looking for confirmation for what Mr. Green says.

good call. I've only seen the film once.. but will see it again

When Mr. Boddy is first found on the floor, Wadsworth doesn't say a word, or even move until the group goes to Yvette.

Wadsworth and Yvette do not go with the group at first to the kitchen to find the cooks body. Wadsworth eventually shows up, but Yvette never does, which works with the first ending. But Prof. Plum and Mrs. Peacock do, and are both there the whole time, which doesn't work with the other endings.

Yvette's French accent is very inconsistent, and she frequently misuses or mispronounces common French words. But this was done intentionally by the film makers since Yvette is not actually a French maid, but just pretending to be one for the night, under orders from Mr. Boddy.

During dinner, after the partition between the dining room and kitchen is open, Wadsworth spends most of the time standing in between Mrs. Peacock and the window to the kitchen. It's possible he's blocking the view, so she doesn't see her old cook there, whom she probably knows informed Mr. Boddy about her. Or maybe he doesn't want the Cook to know her old employer is there, which might tip her off to what's really going on and that she might be in danger.
