“Now we don't even know where to find the marmalade.”

“Now we don't even know where to find the marmalade.” 8 people are invited to a remote island, the “Indian Island” mansion, by their host, Mr. U. N. Owen; two people are already there as the butler and cook, a husband-and-wife team. Once there, they find that their mysterious host has accused each of murder and commences to dispatch the guests in the order of a song of Ten Little Indians. Finding that they are cut off from the outside world, they must find Mr. Owen and neutralize him before they are all dispatched. If it gets down to the last two, you have a pretty good idea who it is. All the clues are present; can you detect whodunit and why? A well-acted version of an Agatha Christie classic. Everyone remembers this standard movie version of “And Then There Were None” (1945) with Barry Fitzgerald. Several other attempts were made, such as “And Then There Were None” (1974) with Elke Sommer and even one movie with the original book title “Ten Little N-i-g-g-e-r-s” (1949) with John Bentley. A fun adaptation using a remote mountain dwelling is “Ten Little Indians” (1965), with Hugh O'Brian playing Hugh Lombard. In this screenplay version by Dudley Nichols, Philip Lombard (Louis Hayward) even retains much of the novel's dialogue and is worth adding to your Agatha Christy collection. Many of the actors were popular at the time, such as Walter Huston, who plays Dr. Edward G. Armstrong. He is popular for the Walter Huston dance in “The Treasure of the Sierra Madre” (1948) and as Mr. Scratch in “The Devil and Daniel Webster” (1941).
