help Desyat Negrityat FAQ
Does Desyat Negrityat use Agatha Christie's original ending?
Yes. Unlike many English-language adaptations derived from Christie's stage version, the 1987 Soviet film retains the novel's bleak conclusion.
Who directed the 1987 Desyat Negrityat?
Stanislav Govorukhin directed the film. His version treats the island mystery as a dark psychological thriller rather than softening it into a conventional survivor story.
Is Desyat Negrityat the same story as And Then There Were None?
Yes. It adapts Agatha Christie's 1939 novel now commonly published in English as And Then There Were None, although the Soviet title reflects an obsolete earlier title.

No. The isolated-island case is not investigated by either of Christie's famous detectives; the ten guests must confront the accusations and deaths themselves.
