Set in the 1920s, the movie follows Miss Fisher as she travels to Jerusalem to rescue a Bedouin girl. Considering the film is based on both a TV and novel series, it's understandably packed with details. Additionally, the wealth of source material included in the movie makes re-watching a must. In the meantime, here are some things audiences may have missed.

10 Filmed in Morocco and Australia

Though the movie takes place primarily in Jerusalem and London, audiences with a keen eye may have noticed it was actually filmed in Morocco and Australia. Although considering Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries and series creator Kerry Greenwood are both Australian, the choice of location is understandable.

Interestingly, the English "Lofthouse Manor" featured in the film was inspired by architecture in Australia. Additionally, all the Palestinian desert segments, set in 1929, were filmed in Ouarzazate and even the Sahara Desert.

9 Intended to Be a Trilogy

Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears was a highly anticipated film, especially by fans of the TV series. The film's creators indicated that they intend to break the film into three installments. Essie Davis, who portrays Miss Fisher, has similarly expressed interest in doing more films.

However, Davis has expressed concern over how the movie will be received over time. In a recent interview, Davis mentioned the trilogy's fate depends on "whether financiers are interested in making more."

8 Her Iconic Golden Gun is an Anachronism

Fans of the franchise are undoubtedly familiar with Miss Fisher's iconic golden gun. Whenever she draws the flashy revolver, you know things are about to get serious. However, what audiences may not know is that the type of gun wasn't introduced until 1950.

Meticulous fans have noted that the gun appears to be a J-Frame Smith and Wesson style revolver, first produced after World War II. Though it may be inaccurate as the film is set in the 1920s, Miss Fisher's golden gun is undeniably memorable.

7 Costumes Designed by Margot Wilson

If looks could kill, Miss Fisher would be guilty of murder in The Crypt of Tears. Her outfits exude class and evoke the glitz and glamour typically associated with the roaring '20s. Whether in a plane or at a lavish ball, Miss Fisher is always dressed immaculately.

Audiences have costume designer Margot Wilson to thank for the impressive ensembles seen throughout the film. Wilson, who famously designed costumes in 2015's "The Dressmaker," accurately incorporated the source material when she created Miss Fisher's lavish outfits.

6 Margot Robbie Was Considered for the Lead

Early in the film's creation, producers experienced substantial difficulty financing the ambitious project. Investors were concerned that, without recognizable A-list actors, the movie might not draw enough interest from audiences.

Producers considered replacing Essie Davis, who had established the memorable Miss Fisher in the TV series. At one point, they discussed casting Margot Robbie, another Australian native; however, they soon realized that Essie Davis was the embodiment of the lead role, and no one could replace her.

5 Based on Kerry Greenwood Novels

Given the incredible popularity of the TV series adaption alone, it's understandable that audiences may be unaware the story is based on an award-winning novel. In reality, Phryne Fisher's origins go back more than 30 years.

Australian author Kerry Greenwood, who was once a criminal lawyer, knows what it takes to write suspenseful mysteries. She first introduced the character of "Miss Fisher" in her 1989 debut novel Cocaine Blues. She has since published over 20 entries in the Phryne Fisher Historical Mysteries series.

4 Palestine Railways

At one point in the movie, audiences learn that the Sheikh had business dealings involving the "British Palestine Railways." The company served as a historical reference and had interesting ties to Australia.

The Palestine Railways was a company that operated all public railways through Palestinian territories from the 1920s until the late 1940s. In 1918, soon after World War I, Australian soldiers captured a railway station belonging to Palestine Railways, making the film's reference even more fitting.

3 Government House in Kings Domain

Early in the film, one of the locations is labeled an English manor. In reality, the manor and surrounding lawns are part of the Government House in Kings Domain, Melbourne. The building served as a residence for Australian governors in the early 1900s.

Interestingly, the Government House is still used in Melbourne today. It's designated as the official residence of the current Governor of Victoria, Linda Dessau. The building neighbors the Royal Botanic Gardens, making it an ideal spot to film.

2 Inspired by Indiana Jones

Even Essie Davis, who portrays the titular character, has pointed out the parallels between the two franchises. In an interview, she described her character as "a real James Bond, Indiana Jones" type. Considering they both take place in the early 1900s, maybe an epic crossover is in the works?

1 The Film Was Heavily Crowdfunded

Those who saw the movie may be unaware that a large portion of the film was Crowdfunded, a true testament to the dedicated fanbase the franchise has ushered in. The sizable donations from fans were financially significant and reassured hesitant investors interested in the production.

Some dedicated fans were even lucky enough to be included in the film. Miss Fisher enthusiasts traveled to Melbourne from different countries to be in one of the iconic ballroom scenes.
