And Then There Were None

And Then There Were None (1945) is René Clair's adaptation of Agatha Christie's record-breaking novel — watch it online on iFILM. Ten strangers accept invitations to a remote island estate. Instead of a host, they find a voice recording at dinner that reads each guest's darkest secret aloud. By morning, one is dead. The sea cuts them off from the mainland, and the body count climbs.

Barry Fitzgerald, Walter Huston, and Judith Anderson lead the ensemble through Christie's locked-room puzzle, where the identity of the killer keeps shifting with every new death. Clair strips the story to its logic and lets the mounting dread do the work.

Christie published the novel in 1939 and it became the best-selling mystery of all time. What makes this 1945 film hold up is its refusal to cheat: every clue is visible, every suspect plausible. Watch And Then There Were None (1945) online on iFILM.
