“(It seems that some people are offended by the title of my review because they do not know Agatha Christieu0026#39;s first English title of u0026quot;and then they were noneu0026quot; which includes a derogatory world ;could you please delete my first review and put this one instead:itu0026#39;s the same with the American title of Christieu0026#39;s book)u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAgatha Christie meets western.Itu0026#39;s really a whodunit!A cheat is lynched and then someone is doing away with the hangmen,one by one.And like in Christieu0026#39;s classic ,they are guilty and their deaths follow the same pattern:they all die strangled .Murders scenes recall more a thriller than a western .So does Maurice Jarreu0026#39;s music.The cast is perfect with an excellent Roddy McDowall whose character holds a grudge to the whole world.A lot of witty lines add spice to the plot.Dean Martin sings the title song.”
