As a palliative to yesterday's weird pairing, I chose another old favourite this afternoon. I don't know how many times I have see this version of Agatha Christie's "Ten Little Indians" (to use the polite title), but it remains a viewing treat primarily because of the super cast -- even if they did get killed off one by one: Walter Huston (again), Roland Young, Barry Fitzgerald, Judith Anderson, Mischa Auer, Sir C. Aubrey Smith -- all familiar faces from so many other film favourites. Even 'though I knew the twist, it was still exciting to watch, and director Rene Clair leavened the murders with some very black humour. And there were no never-ending battles or teenie-bopper angst.
