And Then There Were None (1945)

Between this and the adaptations of Murder on the Orient Express that I’ve seen, I wonder if I should put some Agatha Christie on my To Read list. This one has a fairly similar structure to Clue though none of the madcap antics, which means it can’t possibly reach the status of that incredible film but is still an enjoyable story on its own. The entire ensemble worked well together with no one really trying to outshine anyone else. They kept me guessing as to who was being truthful and who was actually the murderer. The version on Amazon was unfortunately in color. For most of the film this didn’t matter, but was distracting during some of the low lit parts. It seems that some of this story, particularly the ending, were changed for the play version and most film adaptations take their cues from that. I’d love to see a version that is faithful to the book.
