Ten Little Indians

Continuity mistake: Just before he breaks the ice with the introductions, Oliver Reed is reading from a magazine, folded in two with just a page sticking out in close-ups. In the other shots he reads straight from the folded part, without stretching a page out. (00:05:05)

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.

Audio problem: Since his piano rendition of the Ten Little Indians was appreciated by just 1/9 of the audience, Raven (Charles Aznavour) decides to perform one of Charles Aznavour's hits. It gets a much better reception from the audience, but it's no surprise, since everyone must be in awe of the fact that playing the song on the piano he managed to get also the accompanying sound of drums.

Trivia: In the generator room, Blore yells to Vera when she arrives; "Ms. Clyde! I told you to stay up in your room." He did, but in 1965. In this version (which uses almost entirely the same script of the previous cinematographic version) Blore did not meet Vera again at the bottom of the stairs, so he's referencing something that didn't happen - however it can't be ruled out that it just happened off-camera.

Hugh Lombard: Yes. But I'm not a killer.

Judge Arthur Cannon: Listen. If you are the killer, please tell me, I won't tell a soul.
