This is a pretty good screen version of the classic Agatha Christie story: it successfully conveys the atmosphere of paranoia and suspicion among the "Ten Little Indians", and will probably surprise those (few?) still unfamiliar with the plot. If the whole enterprise is a little by-the-numbers, at least it follows the numbers adequately. The casting is generally OK (the breathtaking Shirley Eaton appears in her underwear twice, by the way!), and some of the deaths (the cable car in particular) are memorable. The main setback of this film - as with the underrated 1974 version - is that it follows Christie's somewhat forced "happy ending" that she wrote for the stage rather than her original nihilistic ending from the book. **1/2 out of 4.
