Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaA little known 1930 play by Owen Davis entitled The Ninth Guest utilized a similar framework of people being brought together by an unknown host who proceeds to kill them one by one. Columbia Pictures' atmospheric film version of The Ninth Guest (1934) has never been released on home video, but is now in the public domain and can be found on eBay and iOffer.
- 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!)
