I don't understand the innuendo. Maybe there will be others who -- wait a minute, I think I got it. 
But it's not a big deal if one has to really think in order to get the point.

I think "Clue" might not be quite as well-known in the US as Cluedo is in Britain and Ireland.

Wasn't "clue" the name of a detective movie starring Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine? The remake version starred Caine and Jude Law.

Clue is quite well known here in the US. We even made a movie of it staring Tim Curry, Eilleen Brennan, Christopher Lloyd, Martin Mull, Lee Ving and Leslie Ann Warren.

Nope. That was Cloris Leachman. Madeline Kahn played Victoria Brisbane in High Anxiety. She also played Lili von Shtupp in Blazing Saddles and Empress Nympho in History of the World, Part I. I just learned that she was in the very first episode of Sesame Street in 1969.
