Watch And Then There Were None Movie Online.
Movie Title: And Then There Were None And Then There Were None is available for streaming or downloading. |
The current Image DVD version of AND THEN THERE WERE NONE is a grand improvement in video/audio quality over previous DVD releases by VCI in 1999 and Madacy in 2001. All three versions are currently available at Amazon, so be clear to check the technical info page for each disc to explore which company makes it.
The video transfer on the Image DVD, said to be made from “novel elements”, is considerable, distinguished sharper and more detailed than that on the VCI and Madacy versions. It also shows a miniature more report on all four sides of the camouflage. The portray looks somewhat battered during the opening credits, but it looks big the rest of the plot. There is a minute amount of graininess and other blemishes throughout, but it is not detrimental. I’m especially impressed with the scenes that rob position in the dim, in which some of the background details, such as engravings on the wall, the subtle lights and shadows, etc., can be seen with mighty greater clarity. The VCI disc, conversely, looks mighty less moving, and the Madacy disc even less so.
The monophonic audio tracks on the VCI and Madacy discs are louder but have more noise compared to that on the Image disc. The jam of the dialogs not being synchronized properly on the VCI and Madacy discs has also been fixed on the Image disc.

The Image disc has one extra: the film’s British opening credit sequence, which uses the deplorably offensive title “Ten Limited N******” (which is also Agatha Christie’s unusual title for her whodunnit) . The sequence is preceded with an explanation of its consume so the viewer has the historical context in mind. The VCI disc has a biography fragment on the filmmakers and the 1946 comedy short TWIN HUSBANDS, starring Leon Errol. The Madacy disc has a 9-minute newsreel footage from 1945, a 12-minute blooper footage (of OTHER films), 3 screenshots of lobby cards, and a trivia put a question to fragment. All three discs are region-free and without subtitles or closed captioning.
Agatha Christie’s 1930s modern AND THEN THERE WERE NONE told the fable of ten unrelated people who are lured under various pretexts to an island resort; once assembled, they behold they have been brought to the island by a mysterious homocidal maniac who accuses each of them of having escaped punishment for a past murder–and who then proceeds to capture them off one by one as the ever dwindling party rushes to unmask the hidden killer in their midst. Nothing like the current had been seen before, and it was a current sensation. So noteworthy so that Christie herself adapted the current to the stage. In creating the script, Christie discovered that the novel’s uncompromising tone and terrifying conclusion did not translate well to the stage, and the final script was considerably lighter and had a considerably softer conclusion. When performed, the script was played as great for comedy as for suspense–and proved as celebrated as the original. A film version became inevitable.
Countless novels, plays, and movies have borrowed the premise Christie presents in AND THEN THERE NONE, and there have been at least four film versions (most often known as TEN Small INDIANS) of the current work. All of these versions rely more upon the play script than the recent, offering a mix of comedy and suspense, and by far and away the best of them is well-known French director Rene Clair’s 1940s version. Brilliantly played by an ensemble cast of distinguished character actors including Judith Anderson, Barry Fitzgerald, Walter Huston, C. Aubrey Smith, and Roland Young, Clair creates a stylish, somewhat surrealistic romp that satirizes British “stiff upper lip” sensibilities with florishes of dim comedy while quietly building a sense of increasing unease. From a current standpoint, the Clair version seems more funny than suspensful; few will procure it in the least unnerving. This does not, however, change the fact that it is a large amount of fun to seek. The film creates an air of musty mischief that is compulsively toothsome, and even if a contemporary director decided to have another go at the material it seems unlikely that any cast to equal this could be assembled. If you’re prepared for a witty amusement, AND THEN THERE WERE NONE is recommended.
I don’t usually comment on the quality of DVDs unless there is a glaring issue–but since there are several DVD versions of this film, and some have been poorly reviewed, I will specify that I purchased the VCI edition. (The veil of this particular edition is yellow with the faces of the characters appearing in a V-shaped “wedge.”) When the DVD began to play, the VCI logo was very distorted; when the DVD changed over to the menu, however, the record became stable. When I ran the movie, I found the titles had a bit of a flicker, but this speedy vanished; as for overall quality, the relate and sound quality are rather bad as the movie begins but posthaste corrects to an acceptable–although not excellent–level.
