The Film
Up to a house high on a mountain top have been invited ten people
who are strangers to each other. When they are all gathered, they hear
from their host that each one of them has in someway caused the death of
an innocent person and that justice had not be served in their cases.
There are eight guests and two servants there for the weekend, but one
by one, they are being knocked off according to the poem of "Ten Little
Indians". As the number of survivors decreases, they begin to believe
that the killer is one of the group, but are unable to decide on which
one he or she may be.—IMDB Synopsis
So, it's approaching winter once again, what better than staying inside a cozy apartment, watching expertly adapted murder mystery film based on Agatha Christie's all time classic? Oh, when the said film features Mr. O'Brian, shirtless! But truth to be told, I would have enjoyed this film just as much, without Mr. O'Brian's presence, it is well paced, tense and comes with a beautiful B/W cinematography. I highly recommend checking this out.As an aside, what's the connection between hot studs and Agatha Christie adaptation? First there's Nicholas Clay, now Hugh O'Brian? Looks like I know what kind of films I need to load on my Netflix queue!
Loved the movie and especially loved him!
ReplyDeleteGreat book. I just noticed that in these movies from the 50s, 60s, and 70s, there were more mature and hairy men taking off their shirts, now it seems the opposite. This guy has got to be in his fifties and that's fine by me.
