Director: René Clair

Writer: Dudley Nichols

From novel: Ten Little Niggers by Agatha Christie

Keywords: Mystery

Ten individuals are lured under false pretenses to spend the weekend at a mansion on an island off the coast of Devon, all of them accused of manslaughter or murder in the past. Probably the best Agatha Christie adaptation into film; true to her novel except the ending has been changed. Copyright to the film was not renewed and fell into the public domain.
