A black comedy-mystery with terrific performances, 'And Then There Were None' is adapted beautifully by acclaimed French director Rene Clair.

Jonathan Lynn brings the sleuthing board game, Cluedo, to the big screen with a plethora of stars taking on the familiar characters of Prof Plum, Col Mustard et al. The gags are plentiful although they will probably seem somewhat dated and uninspired to modern audiences. The alternate endings of the original American release are included – which kinda takes the fun out of guessing ‘whodunnit?'
Still... Mole likes it so it must have some magic about it.

Years of police work have taught Detective Finlay that where there's crime there's motive. However he finds no usual motive when investigating a man beaten to death, this man was killed because he was a Jew. "Hate", Finlay says, "is like a gun." A landmark film noir nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Picture. Edward Dmytryk directs a taught stylish tale that, certainly for its time, dared to explore a topic rarely covered in Hollywood; anti-Semitism in the US.
