   Summary: A Fourth DVD Version Since 2007
For those who can play code-2-DVDs, there is a fourth version on the market. The French Canal+ (see Am.fr) has edited in 2007 a restored version that is the best so far (I already own the "best" code-1-version by Image disc). The language is English, of course - just ignore the French subtitles, they do not hurt. There are no blemishes as flickers, specks and faded pictures, the b/w-contrast is very good, the sound of course very mono, the background music rather too loud, and the wide-angle takes could be sharper. Well, the movie was produced in 1945 - maybe Criterion or mk2 (its French equivalent) could do better? I doubt it. As for commenting on the transfer: that is the most essential information for me. Whoever goes for such a classic does usually know what he wants: a good transfer. So please stop enthusing and go on informing. Thanks!

   Summary: Don't like the ending
I read the novel and it was brilliant. What about the movie? It is right if someone said that you can't compare a book and a film. They stand in diffrent medium. It's like you compare a fried chicken and an orange juice. The movie's just like the novel. But,you know,old movies usually had short duration. So, you wont find any detail emotion of each characters and it had no time to built a mystery as thrilling as the book. And some jokes were included. It was OK. The screenwriter could write all the important parts of the novel into a 1,5 hour film. But the screenwrite made an alternative ending that made the story had a happy ending. I just dont like this ending. The novel already had the better ending. There's no need to make a twist by changing it.

The DVD is okay. And it's cheap. What do you expect?

   Summary: Good clean fun!
I saw this movie as a child and couldn't remember the name. I had been looking for it forever and then finally found it here at Amazon. The movie is one of the first plot-twist movies of its kind and is a classic whodunit. Well worth watching again and again. Each time I watch it, I see something different than I did the last time. This is also appropriate for children to watch which is also nice.

   Summary: A worthy Christie adaptation.
I am a big Agatha Christie fan, but most movies made from her books are disappointing. This one is not, however. The suspense is really good, and it's actually a very witty movie. One would think that it would be hard to laugh at a movie that has several murders in it, but you will find yourself doing just that on more than one occasion.

While there are no Clark Gable or Cary Grant-level stars in this, if you like old movies you will recognize almost everyone. It has many character actors that do a great job overall. In reality, I would say the only weak spot about this movie is the fact that the quality of the sound and picture isn't very good. It is an old movie that has not been remastered, so it is slightly distracting on that level at times. Overall, though, the quality of the movie itself removes those concerns.

As for the extras on this DVD, I laughed out loud at a couple of them. They are quite ridiculous, really, but very, very amusing. One of the extras is a movie quiz about "And Then There Were None." There are about five questions that are really easy multiple choice questions. The amusing part comes when you get one wrong! Also, there are some "movie bloopers" included. Unfortunately, they are not bloopers from this movie, but they are amusing nonetheless--especially the first one!

   Summary: Best version of Agatha Christie's "Ten Little Indians"
One of my all time favorite mystery "who done it" films. Great Plot and great acting.
