This Agatha Christie masterpiece is a must see for all mystery fans. The scene of the crime is a wonderfully foreboding deserted island. The stage is a large creepy mansion. The ten guests are invited to the island for a weekend of relaxation. Their host has other plans and when it is revealed that all of the guests are murders the plot thickens. One by one the guests begin to be killed and as the movie progresses you will find yourself trying to figure out who the murderer is as badly as the future victims. A cast of superb character actors makes this who-done-it a necessity for one’s mystery collection.
