Audio problem: Blore, just wearing his pants and tanktop, razor in hand, opens the door between his room and Lombard's. Louis Hayward and Roland Young have an exchange ("Whatchya doing here?" "You called me, didn't you?") with barely half of the words mouthed, the audio does not match. (00:58:20)
And Then There Were None (1945)
Directed by: Rene Clair
Starring: Walter Huston, Barry Fitzgerald, Louis Hayward, Roland Young
Character mistake: Blore accuses Lombard saying "What about those 21 poor natives in South Africa?" The record played during the first evening mentioned indeed 21 men, but that were natives of a tribe in East Africa. (00:14:20 - 01:10:10)
Continuity mistake: The survivors unlock the dining room after Rogers' death. The spare key lies on the tray with the Indians in a different position between shots; askew at first, facing the camera then. (00:54:50)
Trivia: There is not a single word of dialogue in the first five minutes of this movie.
Thomas Rogers: Never in my life have I been accused of any crime, sir - and if that's what you think of me, I shan't serve any dinner.
Philip Lombard: Hello puss, looking for a mouse? So are we.
Judge Francis J. Quinncannon: What I'd like to know is if we're the cat, or the mouse.
Dr. Edward G. Armstrong: We all build islands of imagination. Represents escape. Half of my patients are sick because they're trying to escape reality.
Judge Francis J. Quinncannon: Well, and what's your answer?
Dr. Edward G. Armstrong: Oh, I tell them fairytales. I build them islands of imagined security.
Judge Francis J. Quinncannon: Don't you believe in medicine, Doctor?
Dr. Edward G. Armstrong: Do you believe in justice, Judge?
