    This third film version of Agatha Christie's whodunnit Ten Little Indians assembles strangers at an isolated Persian palace and bumps them off one by one in retribution. It is lushly filmed by director Peter Collinson in pre-revolutionary Iran, but stars such as Richard Attenborough, Oliver Reed, Elke Sommer and Herbert Lom are given the task of propping up a dubious proposition, helped by the disembodied voice of narrator Orson Welles, who lends the project more weight than it deserves.

    Rated - 2 stars [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

    STRONG CAST AND ATMOSPHERIC, BUT..

    I can't help thinking that the deaths - 8 in 98 minutes - come so thick and fast that the building tension of who is the killer, and who is likely to be killed next, is rather obscured. An ingenious plot all the same.
