The film's a campy mess that does the Agatha Christie's original novel no favors and immensely waters down its dark themes and content; not to mention the overly simplistic Hollywood ending that side-rails the entire story, but as a standalone 60s whodunit, the film is quite great! The performances range from flat to stoic to scene chewing and the black and white cinematography is crisp and visually pleasing. The transfer on the DVD is decent, but the print used was too damaged to do any kind of remastering. While the black levels and sharpness is good, there are too many scratches and artifacts that could've easily been removed with a bit more care. The extras are slim, but fun; including the trailer and the original "entr'acte" that was shown in theatres before revealing the murdererRead full review
I saw this move back in the 1960's and always loved it. Some movies you don't enjoy as you did before. This is not one of them. I will be watching it again.

Bought this to compare to the 1945 film "And Then There Were None" directed by Rene Clare in which the acting, pacing, photography were excelent and has a delicious sense of black humor! Although practically all of the characters are murdered, this is not blood and gore movie as you never see any one get done except for "Indian # 10. If you are an Agatha Christie fan you will be disappointed with George Pollock's screen version of her novel. The plot drags on, the actors are wooden, one does not care that any of the characters get bumped off one by one. In a nutshell, don't waste your time or money on this one.
I think this is one of Agatha's best. This original one only though. Make sure Fabian is in it. Keeps you guessing right until the end.

And Then There Were None. Ten Little Indians is a nice take on Agatha Christie's novel. The different ending at the end was a nice touch.
