  • Movie Class by PizzaFLIX: Agatha Christie is the best-selling novelist of all time, with her books selling over 2 billion copies! Christie’s "And Then There Were None“ has been adapted to film over a dozen times, but our 1945 version is widely considered the iconic one to watch.
    Stars: Barry Fitzgerald, Walter Huston, Roland Young, and many more!
    Director: Rene Clair
    In Agatha Christie's classic mystery, ten people are invited to an isolated island. While they wait for their mysterious host to appear, the guests begin to be murdered. Could one of them be the killer? This version is an adaptation from Christie's successful stage play, not of her novel, Ten Little Indians, and the most glaring difference is what happens in the last few minutes.
    TRIVIA: Richard Haydn, who plays the Butler, also did the voice of the Caterpillar in Disney's "Alice in Wonderland."

    Has held up incredibly well. My kids are getting into murder mysteries and wanted to see a classic, but I wasn't sure how a 78 year old film made before my own father was born would go. It was a big hit, scary, funny, and thrilling. There are films from five years ago that haven't aged this well.

      I've seen the series. I suppose the most recent version of the story, on BBC-first, couple of years ago.
      It was done in the most horrific way. Not gory or something, on the contrary. But the feeling of dread through that whole series.
      Of course I do know the whole Ten Little Niggers story behind it, which was changed into Ten Little Soldiers and then into And then there were none. If I'm not mistaken. Good to see that sometimes political correctness is important.
      I'm 60, and when I think about some things I wrote in other girls poetry albums...aweful. Without realising that, of course. I'm gonna give this version a go!!

    "Everyone has to eat a peck of dirt before he dies." My dad said this quote to me when I was 6 or 7yrs old. I took it the wrong way - I didn't want to die too soon so I became a clean freak, for life. Now that I am seventy, I have to laugh at that little girl. Many times I have wanted to share it with him, but he died of cancer when I was nine. Thank you for sharing all of these great oldies.

      I have learned that if you keep everything sterile then you often get sick more than others because you are not used to germs. My dad never cared about cleaning and the only time his home was clean was when I visited him with years in between and the man was never sick not even a cold or headache and though he has smoked 40 cigarets most of his life and he drank a lot the man is still alive and 83 years old. Now for the last few years he has had home helpers who comes and cleans his home for him:) But let me say he walked to and from work every day and it was a long walk and would go for rides on his bicycle and was always a skinny man. I think all that fresh air he got did him good and using his body. He is now almost blind and still goes out on his handicap 3 wheeler and stays out 3 hours every time.

    Hard to believe that this film was made just over 80 years ago, yet it still maintains its brilliant story-line of horror and humour. I have seen this before, a few times in fact, but I still enjoy it, even though I know the outcome. Excellent casting as well. Incredible that it's been kept in as pristine condition as possible for its age.

      @Peter Flood mate you are gonna face eternity one day so why not be quiet for a few minutes and listen to what your maker might be saying to you. God made a perfect world for us but gave us free will to love and obey our Father or rebel. We rebelled and the consequences are a judgement day to settle our accounts one day. ie. death. so cuses and problems in the world are our fault not Gods. The good News is God sent Jesus to pay the price for you because God loves you even though He cannot permit sin. ua-cam.com/video/lM_pM9ZP9GA/v-deo.html

Half of the cast are in one room and the rest in the entrance hall outside. Something happens in the room and the people shriek and run to the door. The people in the hall hear them yelling and run to the door. The ones in the room are pounding and yelling, “Let us out! Let us out!” And the people in the hall are pounding and yelling “Let us in! Let us in!” It was one of the most hysterical scenes I’ve seen.

    Thank you so much for uploading this wonderful film. Much like the Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce ‘Sherlock Holmes’ films I never get tired of it. I’ll often put one of those or this one on when I’m folding laundry or working on some Warhammer 40K minis or whatever, and I’ll often put one of them on to fall asleep to.
    This adaption is just fantastic. The actors and actresses were all excellent - they might seem to modern audiences to be a little silly or that the cast is overacting but that was how films were back then because that’s what the audience enjoyed.
    The novel itself is excellent and I am hoping that it will get a faithful adaptation in the next few years since there’s been an Agatha Christie resurgence with the Hercule Peroit movies. This adaptation has a very different ending because the audience back then didn’t like such bleak endings, and I personally prefer this ending to the ending of the novel!
    I hope that the many millions of people who have not seen this film, the Rathbone and Bruce ‘Sherlock Holmes’ films, and other great films that are pushing ever closer to being a hundred years old will watch these films, fall in love with them, and keep them alive and well for later generations to enjoy!

      @@renzo6490 It is because he was forced to obey the social class rules from birth. The sad fact is that if you come from a poor family, and your father was a butler, they teach you that your life duty is to provide for your employer. It works the other way around as well. Most of the guest were murdered, because they believe in the rigid British class system - They didn't believe that a person who is a judge - a most respectable profession - could ever be a murderer. That is Christie's whole idea - If Rogers hadn't been forced to act on his role as a lower-class servant, he wouldn't have been murdered so easily.

    The movie is excellent when they looked into the camera and introduced themselves was great.

    I seem to gravitate to the old movies my folks and my siblings watched together and still enjoy the entertainment i get watching with my sister. Well time spent and better yet the enjoyment. I refer them to others they always come back amazed at my picks. Thanks for the entertainment keep them coming

    I love this movie and have seen it many times, but one thing that always crosses my mind is the impeccable timing and pre-knowledge of where the victims would be in order to accomplish the murders. I.E. the stone decoration falling from atop the house with a victim standing directly beneath. Some things you just have to let go.

    Nostalgic. Saw this as a kid on T/V and it still holds up as a good movie. Remakes can't top the performances.

    I just saw this for the first time ever yesterday,and I love it!I had to re watch it a few times to really understand a few things,and to get just how brilliant of a film it really is!Great actors!I think the one person in this film who really rubbed me the wrong way and deserved what she got was the witch who sent her nephew to a reformatory and he hanged himself!She just was acted so aloof,so cold, like she had nothing to do with his death,and just didn't care at all!What a witch,I was glad when she got hers!

    I have loved this movie since I first saw it back in the late 60's. Film at it's finest.
