Australia's art world was shocked in 1986 when a Picasso painting The Weeping Woman - was brazenly stolen from the National Gallery of Victoria. The case captivated the media and baffled police until the painting turned up weeks later in a locker at a Melbourne train station.

Artist Peter Rosson and his partner Margaret Casey were accused, then later cleared of being involved in the painting's theft. Peter's brother Stuart has used that family connection as the basis for a fictionalised account of the infamous art heist - called Framed The True Story of the Theft of Picasso's Weeping Woman.
