Eight strangers are invited to spend the night in a penthouse apartment. After being wined and dined, a voice on the radio informs them that they will be murdered unless they manage to outwit the ninth guest: Death.
Amusing, if a bit stiff closed room crime drama; the plot has been has proven to be quite influential and has been varied on many occasions.
Halliwell (no star): "Whodunnit which must have been seen by Agatha Chrsitie before she wrote And Then There Were None. This version however is flatly scripted and characterized, with no real interest in the (unlikely) outcome."
Maltin**1/2: "Not-bad adaptation..."
