Stupidity: Martino's plan involves walking across the desert for 200 miles, in a raincoat, dress shoes, and nothing to cover his head. That's just silly and probably needed no sabotage from the killer at all, but he realises his compass was broken and his canteen emptied when it's already too late to go back.That's no subtle sabotage, in particular the compass being shattered, glass included. He didn't even perform a rudimentary check on his survival kit. (00:50:00)
Ten Little Indians (1974)
1 stupidity
Directed by: Peter Collinson
Starring: Adolfo Celi, Maria Rohm, Charles Aznavour
Continuity mistake: The guests arrive by helicopter in Persepolis. They walk towards the hotel. The torrid Persian sun makes them cast a shado to their left. Elsa Martino greets them and escorts them for the last few meters in another shot, during which they cast shadows to the opposite direction. The two shots (and shadow directions) alternate. (00:02:45)
Judge Arthur Cannon: Listen. If you are the killer, please tell me, I won't tell a soul.
Trivia: The voice of Mr. U.N. Owen on the tape is that of Orson Welles.
