Who did you think it was?

I thought it was Vera. The way she knew the song and was never suspected and all the gents were trying to protect her. I haven't read the book. Was there very many changes in the movie? I really liked the film.

I remember in class we had to read this book, I breezed right through it no problem, BUT DIDNT READ THE FINAL CHAPTER, I remember I was really far ahead of everyone, so like 2 months later when they all got to the end, they were like, I cant believe it was the judge! I was so confused so I opened the book to the end, flipped one page forward to his confession, god I was ashamed

Going in I thought it would be either Armstrong or the judge because those were two biggest stars in the movie, certainly the only ones I recognized at least. Walter Huston is one of my favorite actors, so I was kind of hoping it was him. Once I started actually watching the movie, I suspected early on that the very first murder victim was the killer, I thought maybe he poisoned or pretended to poison his own drink and then subsequently snuck around the house and killed everyone else. I also thought toward the second half that it might be Vera, that no one would suspect a woman and that she was manipulating Lombard and others into protecting her. I was genuinely surprised when it was revealed to be the judge, since he was supposed to be dead.

Well I haven't seen the movie, but while reading the book I was dead set that it was Emily, then she died. Finally at the end I knew I had it figured out, I thought it was Vera, but she was insane not knowing what she was doing. I never guessed it was the Judge!

I saw the 1970s version first. I didn't know who did it but I didn't think it was the judge. But I thought the judge would be the last one left confronting the murderer, so I was surprised when he was the sixth victim.

I thought from early on it was the judge, simply because these people were being judged. His being accussed of sentencing an innocent man seemed to be the weakest of the accusations made by the voice on the recordif he needed killing, what about the jury? I was confused though when his death was faked.

I knew who it was when I saw the movie because I'd read the book, but when I read the book, before I read the ending I always thought it was the doctor. -

I thought it was emily Brent because she kept saying how un-guilty she was. Then when she died I tried to think of some really insane plot twist, like there being a secret room in the house where the murderer lived, or like perhaps they were all in a suicide club together I try to over think things and be clever

I knew it was the judge all along, but I cheated. I read the story first. The ending is really brutal. They had to change it to make it more palatable to movie audiences. Every remake has had the same "happy" ending. In the story, Emily was a nanny who deliberately let a little boy drown in the hope that her lover, the child's uncle, who would inherit his money, would marry her. But the uncle realized what he'd done and kicked her out, unable to prove it. In the end, she killed the "hero," who really had deserted the native bearers to die, and hanged herself.
