Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis movie, while officially based on the novel by Dame Agatha Christie (as per the onscreen credits)], has an ending that resembles her later stage version. While the identity of the murderer is the same in both versions, the survivors of the tale in each are different.
- GoofsIn a flashback, Mr. Owen kills the seventh victim, takes a drink from a flask, and then tosses the flask away, leaving the stopper open. However, when two characters find the flask the next day, the stopper is closed.
- Quotes
Emily Brent: Very stupid to kill the only servant in the house. Now we don't even know where to find the marmalade.
- Crazy creditsThe first line of the nursery rhyme appears onscreen - "Ten Little Indians Went Out To Dine...." - superimposed over a set of small statues of Native Americans - this is immediately followed by the film's title "And Then There Were None".
- Alternate versionsA computer colorized version of this film, made in the late 1980s, also exists.
My personal favorite versions are:
Ten Little Indians 1989 ( many consider this the worst, but I enjoyed it... at least it had an exciting ending!)
Ten Little Indians 1959 (this is a hard to find one... It stars Nina Foch... I think that's her name.)
Ten Little Indians 1975 ( another version the critics condemned, but I found it to be the only one to treat the plot seriously and give it suspense.)
And Then There Were None (yes, this version)
Ten Little Indians 1965? ( The poorest adaptation in my minds eye... every thing has been changed!)
