And Then There Were None
A list of various versions of one of my favorite stories. Some very good, some very bad.
None of the movies (or the stage play) use the ending of the book. The book ending is the best in my opinion but I can see how it might not work in a movie.

- DirectorRené ClairStarsBarry FitzgeraldWalter HustonLouis HaywardSeven guests, a newly hired secretary and two staff are gathered at a manor house on an isolated island by an unknown absentee host and are killed off one-by-one. They work together to determine who the killer is before it's too late.The second version of the story I ever saw. It's really quite good. I have a DVD of this as well.
- DirectorKevin SheldonStarsDouglas HurnElizabeth MaudeArthur WontnerTen people are invited to a summer party on an island oft the Devon coast. They are an extremely varied group from a blustering major to a frigid spinster. The only thing they have in common is that they were each involved in a case of unexpected death. They soon find something very odd about their invitations, and then they start to die, one by one. But who is the murderer and where is he hiding.I've never seen this version. It uses what I understand to be the original, totally politically incorrect title.
- DirectorPaul BogartPhilip F. FalconeLeo FarrenkopfStarsNina FochBarry JonesRomney BrentAgatha Christie mystery in which one of ten suspects in an isolated island mansion is a killer. Who is It?IMDB says this was a live TV performance. I guess I'll never see this one.
- DirectorGeorge PollockStarsHugh O'BrianShirley EatonFabianTen people are invited to a luxury mountaintop mansion, only to find that an unseen person is killing them one by one. Could one of them be the killer?My first encounter with this story when I was a kid. I was really intrigued with the plot, a group of people stranded in a mountain top hotel, getting murdered one by one. I really enjoyed it and I have a DVD of it in my collection.
- DirectorPeter CollinsonStarsOliver ReedElke SommerRichard AttenboroughTen people are invited to a hotel in the Iranian desert, only to find that an unseen person is killing them one by one. Could one of them be the killer?I found out about this version through IMDB. I really don't care that much for it although I like the desert setting. I also have a DVD of this one.
- DirectorAntonio B. PascuaStarsWilliam MartinezHerbert BautistaHero BautistaTen students take a field trip dressed as American Indians and fight off an attack by a gang of criminals.This is a Phillipino version of the story according to IMDB. Another one I probably won't see.
- DirectorStanislav GovorukhinStarsVladimir ZeldinTatyana DrubichAleksandr KaydanovskiyA psychological thriller based on the novel by Agatha Christie. Ten strangers are forced to come face to face with their dark pasts after receiving invitation to an isolated island off the coast of England.This is a Russian version apparently. I haven't seen it and seems likely I never will.
- DirectorAlan BirkinshawStarsDonald PleasenceBrenda VaccaroFrank StalloneTen people are invited to go on an African safari, only to find that an unseen person is killing them one by one. Could one of them be the killer?This version is set in Africa. I haven't seen it but I would be interested in doing so. I doubt I will since it doesn't seem to be available.
- DirectorScott NixonStarsNolan NorthTina IllmanGreg EllisThe World's Best Selling Mystery Novel is Coming to the PC! Agatha Christie's world-famous novel, And Then There Were None, is brought to the PC with all of its original baffling suspense! 10 people, strangers to each other, are all invited to a lavish estate on an isolated island. Through a recording, their mysterious host accuses each of his 'guests' of murder and proceeds to exact 'justice.' Tension mounts as, one-by-one, the number of people are reduced through the ingenious plotting of the unseen killer. Prepare yourself for an investigative thriller like never before!I have this game. I played it all the way through and enjoyed it very much.
- StarsMaeve DermodyCharles DanceToby StephensTen strangers are invited to an island by a mysterious host, and start to get killed one by one. Could one of them be the killer?Of the versions of the story, I liked this the least. It's rated highly on IMDB but I see no justification for it. I hated it in fact. Fortunately, it cost me nothing to see it since the local library had a copy.
