Agatha Christie’s world famous novel, Ten Little Indians, is brought to the screen with all of its baffling suspense and a star studded cast, headed by Academy Award winner Barry Fitzgerald.

Ten people, strangers to each other, are invited to a lavish estate on an island. Through a recording, their mysterious host accuses each of his "guests" of murder and proceeds to exact "justice." The tension mounts as, one by one, the number of people are reduced through the ingenious plotting of the unseen killer. Finally only two are left and each is uncertain as to whether or not the other is the murderer.

A top cast of veteran performers bring the intricate twists of the plot to life. One of the most novel and thrilling climaxes ever filmed brings the picture to its spine tingling conclusion. Match wits with the script as you watch a thriller that has carved its own special niche in the realm of tales of suspense and mystery.

One of the greatest comedies (and maybe films) of all time, To Be or Not to Be (1942), gets the Criterion treatment on DVD and Blu-Ray this August 28th.

The Ernst Lubitsch dark comedy, which has been of print for for two years, stars Jack Benny and Carole Lombard (in her last screen appearance). Bonus features and details below.


As nervy as it is hilarious, this screwball masterpiece from Ernst Lubitsch stars Jack Benny and, in her final screen appearance, Carole Lombard as husband-and-wife thespians in Nazi-occupied Warsaw who become caught up in a dangerous spy plot.

To Be or Not to Be is a Hollywood film of the boldest black humor, which went into production soon after the U.S. entered World War II. Lubitsch manages to brilliantly balance political satire, romance, slapstick, and urgent wartime suspense in a comic high-wire act that has never been equaled.

BONUS FEATURES:

• New audio commentary featuring film historian David Kalat
• Lubitsch le patron, a 2010 French documentary on director Ernst Lubitsch’s career
• Two episodes of The Screen Guild Theater, a radio anthology series:
  
  • Variety (1940), starring Jack Benny, Claudette Colbert, and Lubitsch
  • To Be or Not to Be (1942), an adaptation of the film, starring William Powell, Diana Lewis, and Sig Ruman
• Trailer
• PLUS: A booklet featuring an essay by critic Geoffrey O’Brien
