Summary: And then there are...three DVD versions
Review: The new Image DVD version of AND THEN THERE WERE NONE is a vast 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 sure to check the technical info page for each disc to see which company makes it.The video transfer on the Image DVD, said to be made from "original elements", is much, much sharper and more detailed than that on the VCI and Madacy versions. It also shows a little more picture on all four sides of the screen. The picture looks somewhat battered during the opening credits, but it looks great the rest of the way. There is a slight amount of graininess and other blemishes throughout, but it is not detrimental. I'm especially impressed with the scenes that take place in the dark, in which some of the background details, such as engravings on the wall, the subtle lights and shadows, etc., can be seen with much greater clarity. The VCI disc, conversely, looks much less sharp, 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 problem 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 Little N******" (which is also Agatha Christie's original title for her whodunnit). The sequence is preceded with an explanation of its use so the viewer has the historical context in mind. The VCI disc has a biography section 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 quiz section. All three discs are region-free and without subtitles or closed captioning.

Summary: Abysmal DVD transfer lets down this entertaining film
Review: Terrible, scrappy transfer to DVD format of a good film! I got the first warnings of things to come in the opening credits.. a scatchy & dusty picture...but that was nothing to the intermittent lip-synch problems! There is little more distracting than having the characters' voices reach your ears either before or after their lips move... And this DVD version is VERY distracting in that respect, with whole chunks of the movie being affected. Such a pity - and such a waste of money!

Summary: And then there were . . . some!
Review: Delightful, sparkling whodunit about ten individuals who are mysteriously invited for the weekend to a creepy, isolated oceanside mansion. Once there, the crimes that they have committed and not been punished or caught for are recited to them by a recorded voice played on a phonograph--from that point on, the fun really starts. Apparently some faceless, perverse individual has taken it upon themself to act as a sort of avenging angel when the guests start dropping like flies, each in different and creative ways according to the nursery rhyme, "Ten Little Indians." Slowly but surely it becomes apparent that the unknown individual who has lured them all here is one of them. The breathtaking suspense as you attempt to figure out which one of them it is will leave you on the edge of your seat! In addition to the excellent plot are several good performances, among them Barry Fitzgerald, Walter Huston and Judith Anderson. Romantic leads Louis Hayward and June Duprez are little more than window dressing here, not adding much but not taking anything away, either. Excellent, briskly paced direction, eerily atmospheric B&W photography and eclectic performances make this an unforgettable mystery.

Summary: endearing mystery classic
Review: i have been an avid fan of the classics for nearly 17 years now and this particular "sleeper" film is a great one. not only was it directed by Rene' Clair, a French director whose name is synonymous with good films but it is also based on an Agatha Christie novel of whose name is synonymous with great mystery novels. as for the DVD, i have read the other reviews and many of them seem to be reviewing the other DVD version of this film. just so there is no misunderstanding, my review is of the bargain basement DVD. i was very impressed with this DVD, i bought it just last night. one of the aspects that most impressed me was the extas and the layout of it. although there isn't an abundance of extras there is enough to suffice. it includes a trivia questionnaire, a newsreel, a blooper reel and an original lobby poster. the actual film itself doesn't boast sharpness in picture clarity but the sound is good. as for the layout, that's what impressed me most. it has motion-activated scene selections. this is present on very few DVDs on the current market. overall, i highly recommend this one over the more expensive. you'll get more for less money.

Summary: A masterpiece full of suspense
Review: The René Clair's version of the Agatha Christie's famous novel "Ten Little Indians" is a masterpiece. The script, full of mystery and intrigue, creates interestingful and funny characters, with comedy drops in every moment, who don't exist on the original novel. René Clair's camera, elegant and exquisite, the ilumination and the superb work of the cast complete this wonder. It is one of the best films of intrigue ever made!! Nevertheless, this DVD edition is not quite good; the image quality could be much better; the original master has a lot of drops and other defects.

Summary: Regarding the cheaper d.v.d.
Review: First of all, it's a great movie. The ground work for C.L.U.E. You know the story. Ten people brought to an island, and suddenly they begin to die one by one. Now, regarding the cheaper version: if you've never seen it before and are buying it just because no video store carries it: This is a fine version to buy. Picture is a nine out of ten and the sound is a little hazy, but for a ten dollar difference in price.. I venture to say you will not be disappointed. So fear not and buy the cheaper d.v.d. It even comes with a very, very bizarre blooper reel and trivia game.

Summary: An excellent mystery movie!
Review: This is an outstanding film that stars Barry Fitzgerald, Louis Hayward, the pretty June Duprez, Judith Anderson, and Mischa Auer (in a relatively small part). The film is about a group of people who are invited to an island and subsequently killed off one by one for crimes they allegedly committed. The tension grows as more and more of the respective guests are knocked off and the remaining guests become suspicious of the others. This is a great film to watch if you're big on mysteries, but even if you're not, the performances and the setting will win you over. Another good mystery is "The Bat" (1959) starring Agnes Moorehead and Vincent Price. If you're a fan of Judith Anderson, be sure to see her in "Rebecca" (1940) which also stars Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine. Mischa Auer fans are encouraged to see "My Man Godfrey" (1936) starring Carole Lombard.

Summary: Very Good
Review: I thought this was a very well done adaptation of a great novel. It's well cast, the acting is superb, the set is good, and a majority of the content is true to the book. However, there are a few flaws. Many have said that the ending is the same as the play's ending, rather than the book's. That's not true. The ending, while similar to the play ending, is at the same time very different, and much less exciting. Other flaws include the difference in Vera Claythorne's murder: in the book and play, the accusation was that she murdered a young boy to which she was a nursery governess. In the movie, she's accused of murdering her sister's fiance. While not a big difference, it does change a few things. The biggest flaw, though, in my opinion, can be summed up in two words: Charles Morley. To say any more would give away a few things. The only extras are the "classic comedy short 'Twin Husbands.'" While it's a very odd match for "And Then There Were None," it's rather funny. There are also talent files for four of the actors and Rene Clair. All in all an enjoyable picture. While the flaws are bothersome, they aren't enough to ruin the movie. I would highly reccomend this DVD to any Agatha Christie fan.
