IMDb profile

And Then There Were None is a 1974 film version of the Agatha Christie mystery novel of the same name. It follows the script of the 1965 version, though this particular adaptation is set in an abandoned hotel in the Iranian desert; the film was shot in the Shah Abbas Hotel in Iran during its pre-revolution days. The film's run time is an hour and thirty-eight minutes and it is the first film version of the novel to be filmed in color.

This version is generally loathed by the fans of the book due its nearly incomprehensible changes to the plot, the characters and is notable for some truly bizarre miscasting, despite generally positive reaction to Charles Aznavour's performance. The film is considered one of the worst adaptations of Agatha Christie's works.^[1]
