Brief Synopsis:
This edit focuses on the story of the Krays as adults and cuts out the focus on them growing up which slows the film down. With the focus moved to their adolescent mob life, the pacing is not fast and tight.
Intention:
I always felt the film was too focused on their childhood growing up in the blitz, so this in mind, I removed most of their childhood and a few unnecessary scenes so it would focus on their adult criminal activites for what they really were known and famous for. This is a tighter, faster paced version of THE KRAYS – the famous criminal twins. The focus is moved to their adolescent mob life.
Additional Notes:
SYNOPSIS:
The film is based on a true story about “The Krays”, they were foremost perpetrators of organized crime in London’s East End during the 1950s and 1960s.The Krays were involved in armed robberies, arson, protection rackets, Violent assaults including torture and the murders of Jack “The Hat” McVitie and George Cornell. As West End nightclub owners, they mixed with prominent entertainers including Diana Dors, Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland and politicians. The Krays were highly feared within their social environment, and in the 1960s they became celebrities in their own right being photographed by David Bailey and interviewed on television
