Picking apart Clue.

I love this movie! So I've seen it a bunch of times.

Some really nitpicky details I've noticed:

It was supposedly the evening of June 9, 1954 when this took place. That came from the Trivia page at IMDB that said the McCarthy senate hearings that were airing in the kitchen with the quote: "...professors and teachers, who are getting their orders from Moscow..." were televised live on that day. Mrs. Ho tells Wadsworth that dinner will be ready at 7:30 yet everyone is arriving when it's dark out. In New England on June 9th, the sun would be setting close to 8:30 and it would still be daylight before 7:30! Dinner was served about 7 minutes later, in movie time anyway. So picky!

Another thing is that they all drove from Washington D.C.? According to the Trivia, Route 41 is in CT and MA, so that would be a 6 or 7 hour drive. I suppose they could have all rented cars at the airport and booked hotels somewhere. I know, so picky!

I was going to ask why the cop didn't use his two way radio to call in the abandoned car, but then I read somewhere that he may have been involved with someone in the house and the blackmail operation to some end. He did tell the other person on the line that he was off duty and Ms. Scarlet knew him, so he must not have been a local cop.

Anyone else care to share some more? I love this movie!!!
