| Professional Review: |
| At first glance, René Clair might seem an odd match for Agatha Christie's mystery thriller Ten Little Indians, but his buoyant touch is exactly what is missing from so many overly solemn remakes. Ten strangers gather for a mysterious gathering on a secluded island. It turns out to be a farewell party, for they all have been sentenced to die for crimes in their past by a self-appointed judge, jury, and executioner who may be one of them. One by one, the guests are systematically dispatched in the manner described in the lyrics of the children's rhyme "Ten Little Indians," while the survivors nervously eye one another, splintering into tenuous alliances until the next murder throws suspicion on someone new. The terrific cast of character actors has a ball with Dudley Nichols's witty script. The flamboyant sparring of Barry Fitzgerald (whose paternal Irish lilt takes a sinister dimension) and Walter Huston is almost upstaged by Roland Young's deadpan drollery. Romantic leads Louis Hayward and June Duprez come off as arch and stiff in august company that includes a sinisterly detached Judith Anderson, a dotty and distracted C. Aubrey Smith, and a hilariously flippant Mischa Auer. The story has been remade numerous times under the title of Christie's novel, Ten Little Indians, but never as well. Clair's effervescent, lively little gem is a fatal drawing-room comedy with a body count and a surreal mood of doom. --Sean Axmaker |

Written on August 13, 2007 Summary: Who is the bogus guest? The quality of this movie has been commented on, though fans of the classics will overlook imperfections to enjoy their cinema art. This is set in an old, sea-ravaged mansion on a bleak Channel Island named, for it's profile, Indian Island. From the first blustery scene you are almost required to huddle in a blanket with a cup of tea and shortbread. A small boat of guests who are not acquainted with each other arrives on wild, salty waves. We are introduced to the selection of victims. Thomas the butler has been instructed by letter from their unseen host, a Mr. Owen, to play a record as the weekend visitors partake of wine after their first dinner. They are shocked by what is broadcast. Their host has declared them all to be killers. Judith Anderson is aloof, composed, but outstanding as the knitting fiend Emily Brent (she is mysteriously chilly in Rebecca). Those interested in vintage knitting styles will be studying her eyelet shawl and fitted cardigan. On the boat she is buttoned up in a sturdy houndstooth coat. Atop her upswept hairdo is secured a brimless hat decorated with spikes of feathers; reminisent of a Victorian velvet creation. We see her later seated in the courtyard, knitting casually. She pauses to remove binoculars from her knitting bag and studies the other guests who are deep in thought as they ramble along the water's edge. Members of the invited group are being deleted in a precise manner. Who is guilty? Indeed, who isn't? The torrid weather plays host to their uneasiness. Another murder has been discovered and Emily, who has been for an early morning stroll along the beach, calmly walks through the windy entrance holding up a lacy hank of seaweed to the astonished guests. Nonchalently she greets them. "Good morning. Oh it's such a pretty pattern. I thought I'd like to copy it for a new shawl." "I wouldn't have gone out alone" warns the judge. "I feel perfectly safe when I am alone; thank you." All the while, upon the dining table, we see a circle of ten porcelain indian boys, one by one being smashed as each murder reduces the party number. And Then There Were None  Written on July 29, 2007 Summary: Old Movie The reason why I bought And Then There Were None is because it is my school reading assignment. The movie helped me a lot while by understanding the charcters and setting of the story. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that since the movie was so old the lips of the people speaking did not match the voices. I think Hollywood should remake this movie to fit the younger generation. The movie is a great mystery and would remcommend it to mystery lovers.  Written on June 21, 2007 Summary: And Then There Were None French director Rene Clair populates this quaint but ingenious whodunit with a wonderful assortment of old-world characters, including Judge Quinncannon (Barry Fitzgerald), Doctor Armstrong (Walter Huston), and General Sir John Mandrake (C. Aubrey Smith). You'll feel as uneasy watching this as the guests themselves, and equally baffled as to the whos and whys of it all. Great vintage fun. Written on June 12, 2007 Summary: Pleasing Diversion While not quite up to the quality of the novel upon which it is based, this little film starring Barry Fitzgerald is entertaining nonetheless. Because of the problem of bringing such a novel to the screen, the production team found it necessary to change certain of the elements of the novel. It is up to the viewer to determine if they did so effectively or not in each case. Written on June 3, 2007 Summary: mystery murder nice movie good actors (judite anderson whaiting for rebecca) but the dvd copie is not very good |
