    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The mysterious voice that accuses the invited guests of their specific crimes is an uncredited Christopher Lee.
    • Goofs
      When Shirley Eaton dresses for dinner her underwear is white (as noted in another goof). She then puts on a dress before opening the door for Hugh O'Brien. Later in the movie, when she is locked in her room, she is seen undressing and wearing black underwear. This is not a goof or continuity error. This is the next day and she has obviously changed clothes. She is no longer wearing a dress, but a skirt and sweater.
    • Quotes

      Det. William Henry Blore: Now come the alibis! What's yours, doctor?

      Dr. Edward Armstrong: I resent that, Blore! I am a professional man!

      Judge Arthur Cannon: My dear doctor, that proves less than nothing. Doctors have gone mad before. Judges have gone mad. So have policemen, and, if I may say so,

      [smiling at Ilona]

      Judge Arthur Cannon: even actresses.

      Ilona Bergen: Frequently. In fact, some say the sane ones are in the minority.

    • Alternate versions
      The film was originally released with a "Whodunit Break" gimmick. Right before Ann is seen firing the gun at Hugh, the action pauses and an off screen voice tells the audience that the film will pause for one minute to give them a chance to solve the crime. The previous murders are shown under a large clock ticking the minute away. After the narrator tells the audience they can figure the mystery out if they have "paid close attention" he finishes by intoning "DO NOT BE SURPRISED BY WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE!" At that point the action resumes. Some video and TV prints do not contain this fun "murder minute", but others (including the version shown on TV in the UK) still do.

    low-budget Harry Alan Towers adaptation of the Agatha Christie classic, great cast!
    While the ending of the novel is changed in this 1965 remake of Agatha Christie's novel AND THEN THERE WERE NONE, it's still an OK murder mystery, a kind of modern version of an old dark house chiller, with an excellent cast of UK veterans and US imports Hugh O'Brian and Fabian. A mysterious "Mr. Owen" invites ten strangers, all of whom seem to be guilty of some crime, to spend a weekend in an isolated mountain home. They gradually get killed one by one. My wife felt that the only interesting character in the film was the one who is killed first (you'll have to watch it to see who that is), but I found the whole thing to be entertaining and the ending to be surprising (although the clues ARE planted, when you watch it a second time). Like any Harry Alan Towers production, this is low budget but well cast, and once again Towers wrote the script himself under his Peter Welbeck pseudonym. The recent DVD reissue of this includes the infamous "Whodunit Break" (which appeared at the film's climax in its theatrical run but was cut from all TV prints) as an "extra" but does not edit it back into the film, which is good because it would make second and third viewings of the film painful. Watch that scene once, marvel that anyone would ever attempt anything so cheesy, and then watch the uninterrupted movie again. Nice to see Shirley Eaton as always (The Girl From Rio and Su-Muru), Hugh O'Brian is a charming and masculine lead, Fabian is entertaining, and the British veterans are as colorful as you'd expect, although some Americans may have trouble telling them apart initially, except for Dennis Price. Worth renting, but I can't say it's worth fifteen dollars. Maybe $8.99 or so.
