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.[2] As of 2021, the movie is now available on Amazon Prime.
