Premise

Bleecker Street describes the film, "A spoof that crosses Downton Abbey with Airplane! and Monty Python, Fackham Hall follows loveable pick-pocket Eric Noone (Radcliffe) as he lands a job at a unique English manor house. He quickly rises through the ranks, and a forbidden romance with lady-of-the-house Rose Davenport (McKenzie) blossoms. But when an unexpected murder occurs, Eric gets framed - leaving Rose and her family’s future perilously uncertain."^[4]
