See the Ten Little Indians list. Title: Ten Little Indians Up to a house high on a mountain top have been invited ten people who are strangers to each other. When they are all gathered, they hear from their host that each one of them has in someway caused the death of an innocent person and that justice had not be served in their cases. There are eight guests and two servants there for the weekend, but one by one, they are being knocked off according to the poem of "Ten Little Indians". As the number of survivors decreases, they begin to believe that the killer is one of the group, but are unable to decide on which one he or she may be. 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 Ten Little Indians 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 isbut Ten Little Indians 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 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 Ten Little Indians 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 Ten Little Indians 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 Ten Little Indians always The Girl From Rio and Su-MuruHugh 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 .

And Then There Were None is a traditional mystery novel by English writer Agatha Christiedescribed Ten Little Indians her as the most difficult of her books to write. The book is the world's Ten Little Indians mystery, and with over million copies sold is one of the best-selling Ten Little Indians of all time. Publications International lists the novel as the sixth best-selling title. On 8 August in the late s, eight people arrive on a small, isolated island off the Devon coast of England. Each has an invitation tailored to their personal circumstances, such as an offer of employment or an unexpected late summer holiday. They are met by Thomas and Ethel Rogers, the butler and cook-housekeeper, who state that their hosts, Mr. Ulick Norman Owen and his wife Mrs. Una Nancy Owen, whom they have not yet met in person, have not arrived, but left instructions, which strikes all the guests as odd. A framed copy of a nursery rhyme, " Ten Little Niggers " [8] called "Ten Little Indians" or "Ten Little Soldiers" in later editionshangs in every guest's room, and ten figurines sit on the dining room table. After supper, a gramophone or "phonograph" record is played; the recording accuses each visitor of having committed murderand then asks if any of "the accused" wishes to offer a defence. Anthony Marston and Philip Lombard admit to the charges leveled against them, both instances of irresponsible endangerment resulting in death rather than murder as normally defined. They discover that none of them actually knows the Owens, and Justice Wargrave concludes that the name "U N Owen" is a play on "Unknown". Marston finishes his drink and immediately dies from cyanide poisoning. Armstrong confirms that there is no cyanide in Ten Little Indians drinks Marston was served from, indicating he committed suicide. The next morning, Mrs. Rogers' corpse is found in her bed; she died Ten Little Indians her sleep. The cause is unknown, but some of the guests suspect her husband of poisoning her for fear that she would confess to the Ten Little Indians they are charged with in the recording. By lunchtime, General MacArthur is found dead, from a heavy blow to Ten Little Indians head. Three of the figurines are found to be broken, and again the deaths parallel the rhyme. The guests begin to suspect that U N Owen is systematically murdering them. A search for Owen turns up no results. The island is a "bare rock" with no hiding places, and no one could have arrived or left; thus, they conclude that one of the seven remaining persons is the killer. Wargrave leads the group in determining that so far, none of them can definitively be ruled out as the murderer. The next morning, Rogers is found dead while chopping wood. After breakfast, Emily Brent is found Ten Little Indians in the drawing room, where she had been left alone after complaining of feeling unwell; she had been injected with potassium cyanide via a hypodermic Ten Little Indians. Wargrave suggests searching all the rooms, and any potentially dangerous items are locked up. Lombard's gun is missing from his room. When Vera goes upstairs to take a bath, she is shocked by the touch and smell of seaweed left hanging from the ceiling of her room and screams; the remaining guests rush upstairs to her room. Wargrave, however, is still downstairs. The others find him seated, immobile and crudely dressed up in the attire of a judge. Wargrave is examined Ten Little Indians Armstrong and pronounced dead Ten Little Indians a gunshot to the forehead. That night, Ten Little Indians finds his gun returned to his room. Henry Blore catches a glimpse of someone leaving the house but loses the trail. Only Armstrong is absent from his room. Vera, Blore, and Lombard decide to stay together at all times. In the morning, they signal SOS to the mainland from outside by using a mirror and sunlightbut receive no reply. Blore returns to the house for food by himself and is killed by a heavy bear-shaped clock statue that is pushed from Vera's window sill, crushing his skull. Since neither of them were near the house when the death occurred, Vera and Lombard conclude that Armstrong Ten Little Indians the killer. Vera and Lombard come upon Armstrong's body washed up on the beach. Each concludes the other must be the killer. Vera suggests moving the doctor's body past the shore as a gesture of respect for the dead, but this is a pretext. While they move the body, she lifts Lombard's gun. When Lombard lunges at her to Ten Little Indians it back, she shoots him dead. She returns to the house in a shaken dreamlike state, relieved to be alive. She finds a noose and chair arranged in her room, and a strong smell of the sea. Pressed by guilt over the crime she is accused Ten Little Indians the drowning of a boy in her charge because he held priority over her lover for his inheritance—she hangs herself in accordance with the last verse of the rhyme. Scotland Yard officials are puzzled at who could have killed the ten. Ten Little Indians reconstruct the deaths from Marston to Wargrave with the help of the victims' diaries and a coroner 's report, and systematically determine that none of the last four victims Armstrong, Blore, Lombard, or Claythorne can be the killer, since there was some form of cleanup following all their deaths except Blore's for example, Ten Little Indians chair on which Vera stood to hang herself had been set back uprightand a suicide by falling clock seems beyond the realm of probability. Isaac Morris, a sleazy lawyer and drug trafficker, purchased the island, arranged the invitations, ordered the production of the gramophone record, and told the inhabitants of nearby Sticklehaven to ignore any signals for help, citing a bet about living on a "desert island" for a week. However, Morris died of an overdose of barbiturates on the night of 8 August. A fishing ship picks up a bottle inside its trawling nets; the bottle contains a written confession of the killings, which is then Ten Little Indians to Scotland Yard. In the confession, Justice Wargrave writes that all his life he has had two contradictory impulses: a savage bloodlust and a strong sense of justice. For most of his life, he Ten Little Indians both desires through his profession as judge. However, the desire to commit murder with his own hands and his diagnosis with a terminal illness motivated him to orchestrate a Ten Little Indians murder of people who were themselves murderers by his judgment but could not be prosecuted under the law. Before departing for the island, he gave Morris barbiturates to take for his indigestion. He tricked Armstrong into helping him fake his own death Ten Little Indians the pretext that it would help the group identify the killer. He used the gun and some elastic to ensure his true death matched the account in the guests' diaries. Although he wished to create Ten Little Indians unsolvable mystery, he acknowledges in the missive a "pitiful human need" for recognition, hence the confession. Writing for The Times Literary Supplement of 11 NovemberMaurice Percy Ashley stated, "If her latest Ten Little Indians has scarcely any detection in it there is no scarcity of murders There is a certain feeling of monotony inescapable in the regularity of the deaths which is better suited to a serialized newspaper story Ten Little Indians a full-length novel. Yet there is an ingenious Ten Little Indians to solve in naming the murderer", he continued. For The New York Times Book Review 25 FebruaryIsaac Anderson has arrived to the point where "the voice" accuses the ten "guests" of their past crimes, which have all resulted in the deaths of humans, and then said, "When you read what happens after that you will not believe it, but you will keep on reading, and as one incredible event is followed by another even more incredible you will still keep on reading. The whole thing is utterly impossible and utterly fascinating. It is the most baffling Ten Little Indians that has ever written, and if any other writer has ever surpassed it for sheer puzzlement the name escapes our memory. We are referring, of course, to mysteries that have logical explanations, as this one has. It is Ten Little Indians tall story, to be sure, but it could have happened. Many compared the book to her novel The Ten Little Indians of Roger Ackroyd For instance, an unnamed reviewer in the Toronto Daily Star of 16 March said, "Others have written better mysteries than Agatha Christie, but no one can touch her for ingenious plot and surprise ending. Ten Little Indians critics laud the use of plot twists and surprise endings. Maurice Richardson wrote a rhapsodic review in The Observer 's issue of 5 November which began, "No wonder Agatha Christie's latest has sent her publishers into a vatic trance. We will refrain, however, from any invidious comparisons with Roger Ackroyd and be content Ten Little Indians saying that Ten Little Niggers is one of the very best, most genuinely bewildering Christies yet written. We will also have to refrain from reviewing it thoroughly, as it is so full of shocks that even the mildest revelation would spoil some surprise from somebody, and I am sure that you would rather have your entertainment kept fresh than criticism pure. Her plot may be highly artificial, but it is neat, brilliantly cunning, soundly constructed, and free from any of those red-herring false trails which sometimes disfigure her work. Robert Barnarda recent critic, concurred with the reviews, describing the book as "Suspenseful and menacing detective-story-cum-thriller. The closed setting with the succession of deaths is here taken to its logical conclusion, and the dangers of ludicrousness and sheer reader-disbelief Ten Little Indians skillfully avoided. Probably the best-known Christie, and justifiably among the most popular. The original title of the mystery Ten Little Niggers was changed because it was offensive in the United States and some other places. Alison Light, a literary critic and feminist scholar, opined that Christie's original title and the setting on "Nigger Island" later changed to "Indian Island" and "Soldier Island", variously were integral to the work. These aspects of the novel, she argued, "could be relied upon automatically to conjure up a thrilling 'otherness', a place where revelations about the 'dark side' of the English would be appropriate. If her story suggests how easy it is to play upon such fears, it is also a reminder of how intimately tied they are to sources of pleasure and enjoyment. In in a similar list Mystery Writers of America ranked the novel 10th. In the "Binge! Ten little Soldier Boys went out to Ten Little Indians One choked his little self and then there were nine.
