Ten Little Indians (1989)

Ten Little Indians (Tubi, Amazon Prime) is a 1989 mystery film directed by Alan Birkinshaw. This is the 4th English-language screen adaptation of Agatha Christie's 1939 novel And Then There Were None. It stars Donald Pleasence (an actor you should always be on the lookout for), Brenda Vaccaro, Herbert Lom, and Warren Berlinger. I'm a sucker for Agatha Christie adaptations. I liked this one.

Even after two nights of below freezing temperatures we still have some blooms on our protected patio.

    This is such a good plot and I've seen other versions but not this one. It's been awhile -- I'll be on the lookout for this. Alas, I don't have prime. (I'm a sucker for Aggie, too.)

      We watch a lot on Prime, and then there's the free shipping...

      This is a native and has held up well.

      That native honeysuckle did well this year.

    Great cast. I think I saw this movie when it first came out. Time for a re-watch!

      Agatha Christie has inspired a varied bunch of adaptations.

    I should check this out. I am a big Christie fan, and I'm not really familiar with many of the films based on her books.

      I've seen more adaptations than I've read books I think.

    I remember seeing this one. I watch any Agatha Christie movies I see! :)
    My flowers hung in there for a couple of freezing nights but then they all bit the dust.

      We're expecting highs in the 80s again this week!

    I remember seeing a version of this, but never this one. I think Turner Classics showed one version one year. However, I read the book and the ending is not like the film.

      We don't get Turner Classics since we don't have cable.

      We often have the "summer" flowers blooming well into November, though this is our hottest year on record so far.
