The greatest retelling of Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None," René Clair's 1945 version of the story carries more atmosphere and punch than the 2015 miniseries remake.
The story: Ten people, all strangers to each other, are invited to a small isolated island off the coast of Devon, England, by a 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. Thomas puts on a gramophone record, through which a man's voice accuses them all of murder.
Things get more gruesome from there. This incredible AI-remastered 4K edition looks organic. This 2024 AI-enhancement may be the best this movie has ever appeared on video. Starring Barry Fitzgerald, Walter Huston and Louis Hayward, and restored for the first time using AI, the film feels like it was shot by art filmmaker yesterday - not 80 years ago.
The New York Times praised it: "René Clair has produced an exciting film and has directed a splendid cast in it with humor and a light macabre touch. The temptation to the horrifying is intelligently dismissed."
