Trivia:
The original script was much more faithful to the original Agatha Christie novel with the setting on an island and the original grim conclusion of the book. However, Henry Alan Towers changed it at the last second when he realized that it would be cheaper to shoot at the African outback and that the novel's ending is less marketable than Christie's happier resolution from the play version of the story. more

For the most part this film is populated by some wonderful character actors.
Agatha Christie's original storyline is beyond reproach.
With building blocks like that to work with it's a wonder that director Alan Birkinshaw wasn't able to deliver something a little closer to the quality that thousands of Agatha Christie fans have come to expect. "Ten Little Indians" failed at nearly every level, from a poor script, to inept blocking and unimaginative camera angles, to cheap dime store sets and props, to trying to sensationalize Christie's wit by replacing it with crude graphic violence.
There have been other film adaptations of "Ten Little Indians" all of them head and shoulders above this one. On three prior occasions I've tried to sit through this film but without success. Today, just after having seen "And Then There Were None" (an excellent adaptation of "Ten Little Indians") Birkinshaw's version came on and I determined to sit through it all the way. My reward for that ordeal was to have the right to pan it publicly.
