This rare version of Agatha Christie's book/play TEN LITTLE INDIANS is probably the movie version that is the closest to the actual book. The movie starts with ten strangers arriving at an island. After a strange voice accuses each character of murder, the people start dying off one by one. The movie only lasts an hour, so all the event happening in the movie happen in one night. Nina Foch plays the heroine, Vera Claythorne, very well, though she seems a little old for her part. TEN LITTLE INDIANS also contains rare 50's commercial clips. The movie is highly enjoyable and pretty thrilling compared to the other versions, for example:
SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOILER!
In the other film versions, when the killer is reavealed, He merely explains his motive, tells Vera to hang herself and kills himself. In this version, however, the killer chases Vera around the room and cries, "I must have my hanging!" Then the hero, shoots the killer and saves the girl. The one problem with this picture is that EVERYBODY was supposed to die! Oh well, none of the other versions have this ending either(except the Russian version, which I have not seen.) so we'll just let that detail slip by. I'm not saying this is the best version of TEN LITTLE INDIANS, but it's not bad!
