And Then There Were None is a 1945 film adaptation of Agatha Christie's best-selling mystery fiction And Then There Were None and is directed by René Clair
The film changes certain characters' names and adheres to the ending of the stage play rather than that of the novel.
The cast featured Barry Fitzgerald, Walter Huston, Louis Hayward, Roland Young, June Duprez, Mischa Auer, C. Aubrey Smith, Judith Anderson, Richard Haydn and Queenie Leonard as the people stranded on the island. The film won the Golden Leopard at the Locarno International Film Festival
Though it was produced by a major studio, 20th Century Fox, the copyright was allowed to lapse and the film is now in the public domain
Plot
Eight people, all total strangers to each other, are invited to small, isolated Indian Island off the coast of Devon, England, by Mr. and Mrs. Owen. They settle in at a mansion tended by two newly hired servants, Thomas and Ethel Rogers, but their hosts are absent. When the guests sit down to dinner, they notice the centerpiece, ten figurines of Indians in a circle. Afterward, Thomas puts on a gramophone record, from which a voice accuses them all of murder:
