THE MYSTERY OF A HANSOM CAB

Trailer

Based on the international bestselling novel by Fergus Hume, this twisty period drama set in 1880s Melbourne starts with the murder of a man connected to wealthy benefactor, Mark Frettlby (John Waters, Feud). The victim's romantic rival, Brian Fitzgerald (Oliver Ackland, Secret Bridesmaids' Business), is arrested for the crime, but refuses to provide an alibi. His lawyer, Duncan Calton (Marco Chiappi, Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries), and his wealthy fiancée, Madge Frettlby (Jessica de Gouw, The Crown), are forced to search for the truth themselves in order to save his life. Their investigation not only uncovers a trail of secrets and scandal from opium dens and brothels to the cream of society, but their revelation threatens to tear Madge's family apart. (Movie, 2012)
