Trivia

Agatha Christie's original story was titled 'Ten Little Niggers', which had previously been adapted under such official titles as 'And Then There Were None' and 'Ten Little Indians'. The source of the story went uncredited. Mario Bava did not care for that story, but his next feature was practically a rewrite,"Twitch of the Death Nerve", where he enjoyed total control.
