Movie Review: You will not be disappointed!
Summary: 5 Stars
When ten strangers all go to the secluded, island mansion of a mysterious Mr. U.N. Owen, they suddenly find that Owen wants them all dead. One by one, each is murdered in the same way as the ten little Indians in the nursery rhyme. Can the survivors find the murderer before it's too late? Watch and find out! [Black-and-white, released in 1945, with a running time of 1:37.]
This is a great movie, filled with excitement and suspense. The characters are quite interesting, and the storyline is wonderful (the movie being based on Agatha Christie's novel of the same name). I must say that, for me, Barry Fitzgerald simply stole the show, and the black-and-white film adds to the brooding tone of the movie.
So, if you are a fan of old time movies, or simply love a good mystery, then I highly recommend this movie to you. You will not be disappointed!
Movie Review: A Fourth DVD Version Since 2007
Summary: 5 Stars
For those who can play code-2-DVDs, there is a fourth version on the market. The French Canal+ (see Am.fr) has edited in 2007 a restored version that is the best so far (I already own the "best" code-1-version by Image disc). The language is English, of course - just ignore the French subtitles, they do not hurt. There are no blemishes as flickers, specks and faded pictures, the b/w-contrast is very good, the sound of course very mono, the background music rather too loud, and the wide-angle takes could be sharper. Well, the movie was produced in 1945 - maybe Criterion or mk2 (its French equivalent) could do better? I doubt it. As for commenting on the transfer: that is the most essential information for me. Whoever goes for such a classic does usually know what he wants: a good transfer. So please stop enthusing and go on informing. Thanks!
Movie Review: A Very Good Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD is definitely worth watching if you enjoy a good mystery. Based on the famous book by Agatha Christie, this movie is a great adaptation. Though some may be discouraged due to the fact that the movie is in black and white, it does not detract from the enjoyment of the movie. Also, the film short "Twin Husbands" (Included on the DVD) is hilarious, and certainly should not be overlooked. On a note of caution, though, if you're planning to read the book, I suggest you read it before watching the movie, as both the movie and the book reveal the same culprit, which may ruin the ending of the book for you. All in all, this is one DVD not to be missed!Movie Review: Quick overview
Summary: 5 Stars
I won't run over the plot of the film, other critics will do that for me. This is a superb version of the Christie novel (although just like all other versions of the story, the ending has been changed to an 'upbeat' one). The casting is superb, I especially liked the performance of the butlet type character...V.Amusing !! The setting is true to the original novel (unlike later versions which move the scene to ski lodges, deserts, large hotels etc.) and there is a wonderful 'claustraphobic' atmosphere to the whole thing. Well worth a look if you are a Christie fan, although I hope one day someone will make a version with the exact ending of the book.Movie Review: Terrific old Suspense Classic!
Summary: 5 Stars
I brought my Madacay DVD version of this wonderful old classic for $5.95 and wasn't expecting a knock-out print. I was delighted with the version on this disc. It's not stunning black and white and grays but it's certainly better than the fuzzy black and white tape I brought years ago. The extras on this bargain disc are fun: ten minutes of movie bloopers, a newsreel and a cartoon from the 40s. Just like a Saturday afternoon at the Bijou. As to the movie itself, a great cast of professionals and crew whip up a fascinating hour long entertainment. You'll never guess whose left standing at the end.
