Dieci piccoli indiani


Dieci piccoli indiani

Trama:

Dieci persone, che non si conoscono tra di loro, sono state invitate da un certo U.N.Owen a trascorrere un fantastico fine settimana su un'isola sperduta chiamata Nigger Island nel Devon: Vera Claythorne, il dottor Edward Armstrong, il vecchio giudice Wargrave, i domestici Thomas Rogers e Ethel Rogers, la religiosa zitella Emily Brent, il figlio del duca Anthony Marston, il generale John Machartur, il detective William Blore e l'avventuriero Philip Lombard. Appena arrivata, Vera nota una filastrocca appesa sul caminetto, e presente in ogni camera, che parla di dieci piccoli indiani che, in seguito a varie disgrazie, muoiono. Quella sera la filastrocca diventa realtà e tutti i personaggi iniziano a morire proprio come scritto fino al colpo di scena finale.

Read the novel. That's the main point I'm trying to make here, as the film just doesn't do it justice. Agatha Christie's expertly-written, suspenseful, and, at times, downright frightening novel is a great read that I highly recommend. But too many things are messed with in the movie. Two main examples are: names of characters are randomly changed for apparently no reason, and the ending isn't even the same as the novel. I don't know why they bothered to keep the same name for the movie, as their contrived ending is no longer in keeping with the title. One positive thing I can say is that it has a good cast, and Walter Huston really stands out, but it's just not enough to save the movie, in my opinion. Would I recommend? No. Just read the novel.
