Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears

I had been looking forward to seeing this after being a huge fan of the tv series. I have to say I was somewhat disappointed. I enjoyed it but some of the episodes on tv were much better. I really missed the other characters like Dot, Hugh and even Burt and Cec. For the scant 2 minutes they were on the screen it was like an added after thought. A bit insulting really. When Phryne and Jack were in scenes together it was great but I found the film as a whole a little slow. When set in Melbourne for the television series the episodes moved along nicely, however in the movie there is an alarming amount of watching camels traipse across the desert. I believe the cast did well with the material they were given so really I suppose my criticism is aimed at the writers. All show and no real substance. Have to add that, as usual, Phrynes fashions were fabulous .
