Crime, Mystery
Ten strangers lured to a remote island mansion by the unseen "Mr. Owen" are accused by a gramophone recording of crimes the law couldn't touch — then begin dying one by one, following the nursery rhyme tacked above the mantel. René Clair's adaptation of Agatha Christie's novel keeps the jagged suspense while letting an impeccable ensemble — Barry Fitzgerald, Walter Huston, Louis Hayward, Roland Young, June Duprez — play it with dry wit. Still the benchmark screen version of the most-read mystery novel ever written. The film entered the public domain through non-renewal.

And Then There Were None
1945 - as Francis Quinncannon
Comedy, Musical
Hat-check girl Judy Peabody (Betty Hutton) pulls a drowning millionaire (Barry Fitzgerald) out of the water, and he repays her anonymously with a bank account, a swanky apartment, and unlimited credit. The only catch: her GI boyfriend Danny (Don DeFore) comes home and assumes the worst. A breezy Paramount Cinderella story produced by Buddy DeSylva — who also co-wrote the score — with Robert Benchley and real-life Stork Club owner Sherman Billingsley along for the ride. Hutton's "Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief" became a hit. The film is in the public domain.
