Trivia:

Footage from the movie is used in the Ghost World (2001). The main character, Enid, is dancing along to the big dance number, "Jaan Pehechaan Ho", in the beginning of the film. more

Goofs:

Audio/visual unsynchronized: The band in the "Jaan Pehechaan Ho" scene are obviously not playing the song: the horn players play when the horns aren't heard; the guitarists don't even pretend to play the right chords; an electric guitar is heard, yet the band "plays" acoustic guitars; and the band has no string section even though violins are heard. more

Silly fun, particularly the musical sequences, 5 October 2001
8/10
Author: Mr E Train from Atlanta

Basically an adaptation of Agatha Christie's "Ten Little Indians," this film is highlighted by one of the greatest, most euphoric rock 'n' roll dance sequences ever, which was featured in the opening credits of Terry Zwigoff's excellent "Ghost World."

Of course nothing can be taken seriously here, as the characters get murdered one by one, they still find the time to have a beach party and stage elaborate musical numbers. There are some terrific musical fantasy numbers, but of course the "Jan Pehechaan Ho" scene featured in "Ghost World" is by far the best.
