Despite a few small changes made to fit the different cast, the dialogue for this movie is almost word for word identical to the 1965 version.
The closing credits bill the cast by referencing the whodunit plot and playing on the words of the theatrical convention of "in order of appearance" by billing the cast "In order of their disappearance".
Richard Attenborough was a late replacement for James Mason. Attenborough only took the role to get funding for Gandhi (1982) which would take another seven years before it went before the cameras.
Robert Rietty dubbed three actors: Adolfo Celi, Alberto de Mendoza and Gert Fröbe.
It is obvious from dialogue and idioms that Blore and Vera were written as British characters, but a German actor and a German actress were cast in those roles.
"U. N. Owen: Ladies and gentlemen, this is your host speaking. My name is U.N. Owen. I have brought you here to charge you with the following crimes: General André Salvé, Croix de Guerre, that you achieved honor from dishonor and sent five men to their certain deaths. Ilona Morgan, actress, that you did bring about the death of your husband in a most cold-blooded and ruthless manner. Doctor Edward Armstrong, that you did kill Mrs. Ivy Benson and betray your sacred trust. Michel Raven, entertainer, that you were guilty of the murder of William and Louisa Stern, whose bodies, when they were found, were almost unrecognizable. Vera Clyde, secretary, that you murdered your sister's fiancee, Richard Barclay, by slow, deliberate poison. Hugh Lombard, that you were guilty of the death of Jennifer Hayes, who was to bear your child. Arthur Cannon, judge of the Queen's bench, that you were responsible for the death of an innocent man, one Edward Seton, who was hanged according to your judgment. Wilhelm Blore, that by perjured testimony, you sent Kord Landor to a cold and lonely death in a prison cell. Otto and Elsa Martino, that you maliciously and brutally caused the death of your invalid employer for your own financial gain. Prisoners at the bar, have you anything to say in your defense?"
"Judge Arthur Cannon: Listen, why don't I trust you, and you trust me? Dr. Edward Armstrong: The famous last words?"
