In the past, I have always been opposed to very old movies, because the pictures are simple, the technology is backward, the performances are exaggerated and so on. But as the number of films watched grew, I found that old films had their own charm. The rudimentary picture reflects other features of the film, such as the careful staging and editing, which are increasingly mediocre in contemporary films that focus too much on visual effects. The 1945 version of "No Survival" has a stage-like performance and a tight frame, which perfectly sets off the tense atmosphere of people dying mysteriously in a lonely house on a deserted island, and the interaction between 10 people is not boring at all. For example, one person said a joke when the 10 people looked at each other in the opening scene: "Two British people have been living on a desert island for 20 years, but they have never said a word because they have not been introduced to each other." It is very interesting, although the performance is classical, it is in line with the style of this classical detective novel.
However, it is a pity that the film's tampered ending was spilled with dog blood, and the enduring dramatic tension of the original work from the last chapter to the end and the climax of the entire three chapters of the Drift Bottle - the mystery of no one who survived was to ashes. In essence, it has become "survival" and let the whole plot fall short, which is unforgivable.
