can anyone think of a better murder mystery than Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None? I'd love to hear of any that you consider better. Not talking about this movie (which was OK except for the music and Fabian) but the original novel
shareI give "Witness for the Prosecution" a slight, (very slight) edge
over it. I really enjoy "10 little Indians". Its close
ROGER ACKROYD has been filmed twice, as ALIBI in 1931 (based upon a stage play that had starred Charles Laughton) and in 1999 with David Suchet for "Agatha Christie's Poirot" - I don't think Christie was happy with ALIBI on stage or screen, and she wouldn't have been pleased with the Poirot TV-movie either, as it made some changes.
There's been some reconsideration that ROGER ACKROYD isn't quite the masterpiece it's been taken for granted as, aside from it's famous 'twist' - I seem to find it more disappointing each time I re-read it - my latest re-read ended in failure, in fact, about half-way through - surprisingly, this book just plods along - Christie has written far more engagingly elsewhere (particularly in AND THEN THERE WERE NONE).
"In my case, self-absorption is completely justified."

I love Frasier´s parody -- Nightmare Inn -- it's hilarious. BTW, It looks like Fabian was never together with anyone else in the film and you didn´t see his face while lying on the floor. For other teenagers in other countries there probably were other hearthrobs injected into the cast. But the best was Murder By Death by Neil Simon with Lionel Twain and the butler Bensonmum.
