There have been a great many murder mystery's released before and since this film in 1945. Despite this film continues to endure as a classic among them, the comedic moments hit and don't feel out of place (for the most part) in the context of the scenes they're in.
Yet the tension stays strong and the tonal whiplash is minimal if truly existing at all through the skilled use of every available technique at their disposal.
There is a constant progression through the use of the ten Indians slowly being taken out one by one, which means unlike many other murder mysteries films (even those that are considered beloved), the ending feels earned, meaningful, well paced and logical.
Main takeaway: highly recommend.
