Tonight’s presentation: And Then There Were None
(October 30, 1945; 20th Century-Fox; 1 hour, 37 minutes)
Directed by René Clair, And Then There Were None is a 1945 film adaptation of Agatha Christie's best-selling 1939 mystery novel of the same name which was published in the UK as Ten Little Indians, and later spoofed in the cult classic film Murder By Death (1976).
Eight people, all total strangers to each other, are invited to a small, isolated island off the coast of Devon, England, by a Mr. and Mrs. Owen. Ferried over by a sailor called Narracott, they settle in at a mansion tended by two newly-hired servants, Thomas and Ethel Rogers, but their hosts are absent. When the guests sit down to dinner, they notice the centerpiece, ten figurines of Indians in a circle. Afterward, Thomas Rogers puts on a gramophone record, from which a voice accuses them all of murder. And one by one, they are each dispatched in unique ways. Or…is one of them the murderer?
