Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

You won't be disappointed!

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

An early, intriguing, skillfully directed Christie adaptation was René Clair's And Then There Were None (1945), which also gathered a splendid cast led by Barry Fitzgerald, Walter Huston, Louis Hayward and June Duprez. The director has managed the extremely difficult feat of blending humor with suspense, and not allowing the comedy to dissipate the mood. One of the methods he uses to achieve this admirable aim is to force comedians like Fitzgerald, Roland Young, Richard Haydn and Mischa Auer to play their comic roles with emphases and asides that are perilously straight. Fitzgerald is particularly adept at this sort of nuance. Also leavening the comedy is the many-sided portrait presented by the often blustering, sometimes dead serious, sometimes playful Walter Huston. Judith Anderson, of course, always plays with a menacing undercurrent in her every line, while Hayward as the boyish hero and Miss Duprez as the pretty-as-a-picture heroine likewise do everything well. (The 10/10 American Home Treasures DVD presents the full, uncut 97-minute original theatrical version).

And Then There Were None is directed by Rene Clair, has a screenplay by Dudley Nichols, is based on the novel by Agatha Christie and stars Barry Fitzgerald, Walter Huston, Roland Young, Judith Anderson, C. Aubrey Smith, June Duprez, Louis Hayward, Mischa Auer, Richard Haydn and Queenie Leonard.This 1945 adaptation of the novel which is possibly Christie's best is atmospheric and strangely funny considering the dark subject matter. There is plenty of suspense and a good spooky atmosphere. The characters behaviour and interaction is often very humorous, because they are all so different and some have very quirky personalities. You feel like you have actually gotten to know these characters and you are kept guessing until the end (unless you've read the book)as to who the killer is.Ten strangers are invited to spend a weekend in a house on an island as guests of Mr U.N. Owen. Once they arrive they discover their host is absent and that none of them has ever met him. On the first night a gramophone recording starts playing accusing them all of being murderers. One by one they start to be killed and the survivors must try and work out who amongst them is the killer.The films ending is very different to the books and is quite disappointing in comparison. It's odd that such a major change was made but I suppose it was done to make the story less bleak and disturbing.The entire cast are excellent with Judith Anderson, Barry Fitzgerald and Walter Huston deserving special praise. There's some wonderful camera-work, especially in the scene where Huston's character looks through a keyhole at someone else who is looking through another keyhole.

This is Agatha Christie at her best! This film gave me chills, and truly did keep me on the edge of my seat, the constant worrying about the characters, carefully watching the background, wondering just who it might be and how they managed to do it. The creepy nursery rhyme was a genius touch if I might say so. I also thought the acting was fantastic, and each and every actor was perfectly cast accordingly for their role. Also, I don't mind saying, I guessed completely wrong as to who the killers true identity is. I won't reveal who that person man or woman might be, I'll let you have the fun of guessing and seeing for yourself! The dialogue and execution of the source material was spot on here! Couldn't have been any better! This is a fun, smart, clean as far as offensive content goes murder mystery that I think most anyone can and will enjoy!! 10/10 perfection

Ten people are brought to an isolated island estate by the Owens. They don't know each other and the Owens are not there. At dinner, there is a centerpiece with ten little Indian figurines. A record is played and each one is accused of a murder. Vera Claythorne (June Duprez) is suppose to be Mrs. Owen's new secretary. She murdered her sister's fiancé. General Sir John Mandrake (C. Aubrey Smith) ordered his wife's lover to his death. The new servants Thomas (Richard Haydn) and Ethel Rogers (Queenie Leonard) killed their invalid employer. Emily Brent (Judith Anderson) killed her nephew. A drunk Dr. Edward G. Armstrong (Walter Huston) caused the death of a patient. Prince Nikita Starloff (Mischa Auer) killed a couple in a DUI. Judge Francis J. Quinncannon (Barry Fitzgerald) is responsible for an innocent man's hanging. Philip Lombard (Louis Hayward) killed 21 East African tribesmen. William H. Blore (Roland Young)'s perjury caused an innocent man's death. Soon, they realize that nobody has ever met U.N. Owen or unknown and the boat is not coming back until Monday. The people starts dying one by one and the figurines are lost one by one. It becomes apparent that one of the group is actually the killer.Based on the famous Agatha Christie novel, this is a contrived story but that's Agatha Christie. It is fun that way. It's a parlor game and the audience is there to guess the ending. They are all serious actors giving compelling performances. It has a few sly jokes and keeps the mood from being too dark. It is snappy and the deaths keep coming.
