Lynn wrote the screenplay for "The Internecine Project" (1974) and made a short film, "Mick's People" (1982), before directing his first feature, "Clue" (1985). A disappointing comedy whodunit, "Clue" was more notable for its being released with three different endings than for its wit. Lynn's subsequent work has included the cross-dressing comedy "Nuns on the Run" (1990); the surprise fish-out-of-water hit "My Cousin Vinny" (1991); and "The Distinguished Gentleman" (1992), a less-than-distinguished Eddie Murphy vehicle.
