“Yes, you are right, Madame; the sky is blue, the sun is shining, and yet you forget that everywhere there is evil under the sun.” This film has an interesting balance of tones with brightness of the locale contrasted with the somewhat tense undertones. The Cole porter soundtrack gives this film such an interesting feeling that I love. During the time the murder is taking place we see footage of all the characters going about the island under a lilting rendition of a classic show tune. The editing gives a rising feeling of unease while the seemingly tries to put our fears to rest.  Unfortunately it is all for naught and someone of course “gets it.” The murder does not occur till halfway through the film giving us ample time to ascribe motive to every character and enjoy the atmosphere of the island.
