And Then There Were None Details

[Highly rated reviewer]

Who dunnit?

This film received the highest star rating from Halliwell at the time of release. Now it plays like a rather creeky old thriller. It has to be said that the story is ingenious, if rather implausible. You can easily spot who will be killed off first and most of the characters are 'of the peg' creations. Likewise, much of the acting is by numbers stuff and the women are especially dull and wooden. Best value comes from old timers Walter Huston and Mr Fitzgerald and they still look a bit like they are on autopilot. Rene Clair is a stylish director not helped here by uninteresting sets and a tendency to bathe everything in studio lights. Still worth a look as a curio if not as the 4 star film that Haliwell rated

Classic who dunnit

If your an Agatha Christie fan then watch this film. Yes it is in black and white but this adds to the suspence of what is going on. If you take away Miss Marple and take away Poirot what are you left with? Classic Agatha Christie mystery.

8 people are invited to a house on an island, and they have no idea what is going on. They turn up there and their host isnt there, or is he? A butler and a maid are already there waiting for the guests so this makes 10 guests.

People start dying and mysteriously the 10 lil indians on the dinner table are being broken each time someone is murdered. The murders are going in order of the nursery ryhme, 10 lil indians.

The film is basicly sticking 10 idiots in a house and see what happens. And you know what its classic.

A must see!
