"And Then There Were None"

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the film and its specific value in sociological perspectives. The writer points out that it is an interesting mystery that, at first, seems to have little implication for the Asian-American Pacific Islander. This film may have much darker sociological and psychological overtones.

From the Paper:

"And Then There Were None is a film adaptation of an Agatha Christie novel. The film opens with eight visitors riding in an open boat toward a deserted island where they have all been invited to spend the weekend. None of them knows each other, and none of them seems to have any connection to their unseen host, Mr. "U. N. Owen," or "unknown" to them all, even the two servants hired to oversee the guests during their stay. After their arrival, the butler plays a startling record that plays the nursery rhyme song "Ten Little Indians" with some violent alterations, and then accuses each of the ten people on the island of some form of murder. Then, the guests discover ten "Little Indian" figurines on the dining room table, just as the ten people begin to die. The first is the maid, wife of the butler, and when she dies, one of the ten figurines in the dining room mysteriously disappears."
