René ClairRene Clair's - And Then There Were None (1945)

Rene Clair weaves the quintessential spider web with brilliant camera work including unusual but effective angles, snappy dialogue, and magnificent performances by ten impeccably cast artists. The viewer is drawn into the anxiety, claustrophobia, terror, and resignation felt one-by-one by each of the twelve weekend "guests" of Mr. Owen. Any mystery, suspense or thriller fan will be incomplete without seeing this work of absolute genius.
This may be the best mystery ever put to film

Subject: One of my favorites
This movie is one of my all time favorites. It has the perfect balance of suspense and mystery, while still being light enough for family viewing.

Near the end of the movie, I thought I chose the right culprit. But I was wrong! Oh well, I should have known that old, overused formula wouldn't work.

Subject: Utterly enjoyable
Watched this movie a couple of days ago and thought I should wait before writing a review. Good thing is, I have not changed my mind about it, as I found it to be very enjoyable, and the mix of noir, suspense and humor had me at the edge of my seat.

This movie is really worth seeing. The plot is very good, the actors are convincing, and the scenery is very pleasant. It is not easy to write a good review without giving away the plot, so all I can say is, watch it, you will enjoy it too :)

Watch it with a friend who's never seen it before.

This great flick ran on TV many years ago (with few commercials, so the pacing was good). I called a distant friend and urged him to watch it.

As the movie progressed, my phone rang at least a half-dozen times. Turns out my friend was irked by the fact that he "solved" the mystery over and over...only to see his suspect-of-the-moment get killed.

Drove him nuts!

I have never seen this version and I have to say, I'm so glad I did! Highly entertaining and well worth downloading for posterity, they just don't make 'em like they used to!

As good as I remember.

Subject: Best adaptation of Christie Classic
This is one of my favourite 1940s pictures.
Harry Popkin and Rene Clair made one of the best adaptations of an Agatha Christie story. Perfect cast, great writing, the right balance of suspense and mystery. Just a great old-fashioned whodunnit.
This story was remade three times: in 1965 set in a snowed-in ski resort, in 1974 set in the Iranian desert and in 1989 set in the African outback. All are reasonably good but the original is the best.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than the one released in 1965 with Hugh O'Brian and Shirley Eaton. Dudley Nichols (a character actor from the 30's & 40's) is faithful to the play and book.
