Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears

On Tuesday, as we did not have to collect grandchildren from school, we decided to go and see a film, something we have not ben able to do for some time. We decided to see Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears which was on at 2pm. I had watched a number of Phryne Fisher stories on the ABC and also read a number of books in the series written by Kerry Greenwood so I had a fair idea what to expect and looked forward to some light entertainment.

We arrived at the cinema complex which was very quiet and when we found our allocated seats in the large theatre it was soon obvious that we were to have an exclusive viewing of the film. As to be expected it was an entertaining, unbelievable story set overseas in England and Palestine. The Middle East scenes were shot in Morocco. After Phryne rescues a young girl from gaol in Palestine she takes her to England. The girl is determined to discover who was responsible for her mother's death and Phryne and Jack help her with her mission.

As we left the cinema I thanked my husband not only for the opportunity to escape from the realities of life for a short time but also to do so in in such an exclusive environment!
