Ten Little Indians is a 1989 mystery film directed by Alan Birkinshaw. The fourth English-language screen adaptation of Agatha Christie's 1939 novel And Then There Were None, it was the third version to be produced by Harry Alan Towers, following his 1965 and 1974 adaptations. The opening credits state that this film is based on Christie's 1943 stage adaptation and make no mention of the novel itself, perhaps because the film's climax is taken almost verbatim from the stage script. (Most other film adaptations, while still using an upbeat finale, have significantly toned down the action-packed climax Christie used in the play.) This version also introduced a lesbian affair. Herbert Lom, who plays the General here, previously starred in the 1974 version as Dr. Armstrong. As of December 2013, this production has been released on VHS and laserdisc. A German DVD release (including the English version) became available in 2015. It was released on Blu-ray by Kino Lorber on 30 June 2020. As of 2021, the movie is now available on Amazon Prime. Plot A group of ten disparate people, strangers to each other, have all been summoned by a mysterious host named Mr. Owen to travel to Africa and join him on a safari he is hosting. Philip Lombard guides the entourage with the aid of local natives through the jungle. Things turn ominous: First their native guides abandon them, then cut the bridge line (their only way in and out of camp). As a result, the eight guests, plus a married couple, the Rodgers, find themselves isolated in their hunting camp. In addition, their host, Mr. Owen, is absent. Following their dinner, by means of a gramophone recording, an inhuman voice accuses each person of a murder that they had caused, for which they had escaped justice. Marston dies first, choking to death after drinking a poisoned martini. His death mimics the first verse of the English nursery rhyme 'Ten Little Indians'. One of the ten Indian dolls that adorn the dining table is found with its head snapped off. In the morning, Rodgers' wife Ethel Mae is found dead in her bed (possibly from an overdose), fulfilling the second line of the rhyme. Suspicion arises that they are being picked off by a dangerous lunatic. As four of the men set off with rifles to hunt down Mr. Owen, General Romensky is pushed off a cliff and
