Glamorous lady detective Phryne Fisher (Essie Davis) returns in a cinematic sequel to the wildly popular television series 'Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries'. With her trademark wit, impeccable style, and trusty pearl-handled revolver, Phryne fights injustice on an international scale in this globe-trotting adventure. In 1929 Jerusalem, Phryne rescues a young Bedouin girl held captive after a village massacre and reunites her with her uncle at a stately English manor. But then a man claiming to have information for the girl is shot, leaving behind a mysterious pendant. Vowing to find the truth, Phryne enlists the help of handsome detective Jack Robinson (Nathan Page) to uncover priceless treasures, wartime secrets, and an ancient tomb bearing a terrible curse. - Actors:

Glamorous fun! - Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears review by SG
Having watched the TV series I knew not to interrogate the story too closely but to just let the whole joyous thing wash over me! It looks fabulous - the settings and the costumes are sumptuous. The trademark humour is there too and some lovely performances, particularly from Essie Davies and Nathan Page.

Transplantation - Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears review by CH
Although the three television series are very enjoyable - some episodes inevitably better than others -, this film goes the way of many other programmes when seeking greater length: it is palapably stretched out, and the viewer feels as if on the rack. With only a glimpse of Melbourne, it largely takes place amidst the tangle of Middle East politics in the Twenties. The plot - as far as one can follow it - is muddled, and there is recourse to all the the familiar devices of adventure yarns, such as prison escapes, caves, coffins, gleaming jewels, much waving of sabres, a troubled princess. Of the original cast only Miss Fisher and Inspector Robinson figure here (apart from some cameos, such as Aunt Prudence in an English country house), which makes for a further slackening of the dynamics which made the television series so pleasing.
