    Cezary Cezaryskubiozewski provides great score!

    Director Shawn Seet delivers a top production. The late 19th Century Melbourne location is captured with the help of some CGI backgrounds of the 1800's Melbourne. The mansion is big and fitting the plot of an aristocrat with a secret. The novel was written in the late 1800's by Fergus Hume and has had four films based on it. It was very popular. Even more than Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Who killed the blackmailer is the main question. Could it be the fiance? John Waters is the father of Jessica De Gouw, Madge. Mario Chiappi is Waters' lawyer. Shane Jacobson is the first detective who is followed by Felix Williamson. Chelsie Preston plays Sal Rawlins who is key to all aspects of the plot. Helen Morse delivers the best performance as the down and out grandmother of Sal Rawlins. Glen Dolman wrote the script which keeps your attention from start to finish.

    A nice quiet mystery

    I enjoyed this movie very much. The acting was solid and the story was well told. It may be slow for some and if you're a cynic you probably won't enjoy it. I was particularly pleased with Margaret (also called Madge) as she was independent and tough and did not shrink under pressure from the men around her. There were definite cliches but there were also moments that I thought were going to turn into cliches that went in a different direction. It was a pleasant surprise and I'm really glad I watched it.

    Old fashioned show

    Look its not a sophiticated story but unlike so much of todays TV/Movies it actually have a story with a beginning middle and end. Basically well done and satisfying show.

      This movie is set in the 1880s, yet the first street scene shows a solid yellow lane marker in the middle of the street. These lane markers were first introduced to Australia in Sydney in the 1920s.
