Ten people are invited for a weekend on an island by a Mr U. N. Own.

But he isn't on the island.

At dinner a record is played.

By that all the people are accused of murder.

Suddenly the first of them is dead.

Then the next.

It seems to be that one of them is the murderer Mr. U. N. Own.

But the person in suspect is always the person who is murdered next.

At last only two people seem to be left.

I was never a huge fan of Agatha Christie and time has passed her by. Same with this film. Slow, talkie, little action. Lots of over acting.

You'd do way better watching some Columbo episodes if you want a good mystery. Plus, you know who did it before the first commercial.

A murder is found to be connected to a false heir and a secret underground torture chamber.

So many of these movies were made in the 30s and early 40s.

Prior to the Film noir of the next decade.

Some are better than others. This one is a bit above the average.

There's a funny scene with the girl in the bath and when she gets out, another woman wraps her in a plaid towel. When she pulls it around her you can see she' wearing bloomers.

The sets are opulent as was the case back then and there's lots of fun intrigue.

Give it a shot on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Quarantined woman hunted by sniper.

I was intrigued how this movie, made for no money, got and 8.5 review.

Well now it's clear. People who worked on this movie rated it.

It's not a good flick at all.

Bad bad music track is the first thing you'll note. It's not appropriate for what's going on.

Then it rambles with even worse music. At the 4 minute mark, you want to pull your hair out because it's so bad.

Lots of voice over that are just dumb.

The acting is dismal. There's no real story or characters you care about. And the directing is horrible.
