Mrs. White behind Doctor Plum


When Colonel Mustard suggests them to split up around the house, we get a shot of Doctor Plum and Mrs. White is behind him doing something on his back with a determined expression - it looks like she's touching his armpits(?). I wonder what this meant? Or is it just another Madeline Kahn WTF? moment, like the little scream after the lights went out.

I've seen this film countless times and I never noticed that. It's probably a Madeline Kahn WTF moment. She was so brilliant in this film. Even in scenes of her in the background.

Actually I think most of the cast were brilliant.

Yes - it's truly amazing what she does without any lines.

This was my Lion King and Dora for me growing up. I had worn out the VHS copy which had been recorded off of cable TV back in the 80's. I would watch it over and over again. Even to this day, I pick up things that had been missed in viewings. Try watching it after a little 420... that was when the facial expressions and snide comments really hit me with hilarity.
