	Kray Brothers
		Reginald and Ronald Kray were notorious criminals whose obsession with assaulting others, encouraging each other to greater levels of violence, and extending their personal power and domination culminated in a serious protection racket in London and a number of murders.
		Their blatant violence and unstable mental condition, particularly of Ronald Kray, led to intimidation of witnesses and the prospect of their escaping justice until they were arrested and convicted by the efforts of a special squad of detectives led by Detective Superintendent Leonard ("Nipper") Read.
		November 1956 Ronald Kray was jailed for 3 years for assaulting Terence Martin in a gang-related incident, later became friends in Wandsworth prison with Frank Mitchell and was diagnosed as suffering from paranoid schizophrenia.

		Ronnie and Reggie Kray always loved the world of showbusiness and glamour, often using it to hide the brutal nature of their crimes.
		The police dossiers also show the "Kray Twins," sharp-suited Cockney masters of the murky world of the capital's East End, had established themselves as "Untouchables" at the heart of a criminal web at the tender age of 27.
		The curtain finally came down on the Kray dynasty last year when cancer claimed the smooth-talking Reggie, but the family's dubious allure has endured so strongly only now was it considered safe to open the files.

	Movie Info for The Krays on MSN Movies
		The Krays were twin gangsters who ruled London's stylish East End club scene, staking out their territory by committing the most violent crimes imaginable, preferring to perform the most torturous acts themselves.
		The film opens as their mother Violet Kray (Billie Whitelaw) recalls a dream in which she is a swan from which two beautiful babies have hatched.
		In their self-contained world of Us-Against-Them, the Krays rapidly rise to the height of power, first taking over the territory of a petty mobster by violent means and then putting together an underworld empire of posh clubs, cars, and fancy suits.

	Review/Film; Twin Thugs With a Mother Complex - New York Times
		Violet Kray, as tacitly dominant in the film as she was in the lives of her sons, is seen as an otherwise ordinary woman distinguished chiefly by the depth of her parental devotion.
		Contempt for men is an item of faith in the Kray household, where their aunts and grandmother help to hide the boys' weak, draft-dodging father from the law.
		Their grandmother's belief that "men are born children and they stay children" doubtless contributes to the brothers' sheepish, polite manner around the house, and later even leaves its mark on their behavior as grown-up hoodlums.

	Krays - Geordie Connection (2004): Steve Wraith, Ronald Kray, Reginald Kray - PopMatters Film Review (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Far more remarkable than Wraith’s “Geordie connection” to the Krays, is the emergence of the brothers’ celebrity in the wake of their criminal enterprises.
		Wraith includes footage of a charity auction, held for a burn victim in Newcastle, in which Kray memorabilia (signed boxing gloves, photos, etc.) is auctioned off for the ostensible benefit of the young man who suffered the injuries.
		This is but one of many auctions organized by the Krays, however, and it becomes increasingly unclear as to who is actually awarded the proceeds.

		By interviewing Reggie Kray on his deathbed, and through extensive interviews with former criminal associates, detectives and lawyers, the producers might reasonably claim to have come up with the definitive version of the story.
		The circumstances of the Kray murders clearly still ring with genuine emotional resonance for those who were either involved or responsible for the subsequent judicial process.
		I am a big krays fan and was very saddened to see Reggie so weak and frail in hospital compared to the man he was before he was arrested.

		But, as Ronald Kray's character aptly points out in this Peter Medak film scripted by Philip Ridley, "Glamour is fear." London's East End certainly had abundant reasons to fear the Krays.
		Ronald's private life was filled with a succession of attractive young boys while Reginald doggedly pursued a young woman named Frances Shea (renamed Dawson in the film).
		Peter Medak, who was an assistant director on "Sparrows Can't Sing", knew the Kray twins in the heady early sixties, long before their criminal careers crashed to a halt.

		"The Krays, pricked the glamorous facade to show the truth: the movie painted a portrait of two sexually inadequate and emotionally disturbed sadists who were unable to form relationships outside their immediate family unit.
		While it was guilty of excessive East End clichedom (Billie Whitelaw spent two-thirds of the proceedings scrubbing her doorstep and moaning about the war), it was a genuine attempt to dissect the strange inner workings of two legendary psychopaths.
		The Krays was Avis' last film before her death on October 4, 1990.

		Ronald Kray (24 October 1933 - 17 March 1995) and Reginald Kray (24 October 1933 - 1 October 2000) held an empire in organised crime, called "the firm".
		A large part of their fame is due to their non-criminal activities as figures on the celebrity circuit, their associates included show-business characters such as the actors George Sewell and Barbara Windsor.

	The Krays (1990)
		Their gangland empire was born from intimidation, their respect demanded by brutality so horrific that eventually even their own turned against them.
		At the height of their notoriety the twin’s private lives take contrasting routes; Reggie falls in love with cherub-like Frances (Kate Hardie), while Ronald gets involved in a homosexual relationship with one of his henchmen.
		After the brazen murder of two rival villains, Jack 'The Hat' McVitie (Tom Bell) and George Cornell (Steven Berkoff), London breathed a sigh of relief in 1969 as they were sentenced to 30 years each, thus marking the end of their bloody reign.

		On the morning of December 28th, Violet Kray received an official telegram from the governor of Winchester Gaol:

	Review/Film; Twin Thugs With a Mother Complex - New York Times
		Medak's direction is quick and elliptical, sometimes so mischievous that in one scene he positions a Kray next to a portrait of Napoleon; when Reg begins to fall apart over Frances, a tawdry-looking temptress can be seen on the wall.
		Hardie gives a genuinely plaintive quality to the dim, whiny Frances, who never understands how a wife can be treated with such smothering cruelty by a boy who so dearly loves his mother.
		The Krays Directed by Peter Medak; written by Philip Ridley; director of photography, Alex Thompson; edited by Martin Walsh; music by Michael Kamen; production designer, Michael Pickwoad; produced by Dominic Anciano and Ray Burdis; released by Miramax Films.

	The Krays featuring Billie Whitelaw & Tom Bell Movie and DVD page on ARTISTdirect
		Like the Krays, the Kemps grew up in a lower-class London neighborhood and reportedly tended to think and act alike in their early life.
		They exhibit icy ruthlessness in their roles as kooky mama's boys with enough smarts and criminal derring-do to rise to celebrity status in protection and gambling rackets, even rubbing elbows with legends of the entertainment world.
		Billie Whitelaw is superb as the boys' mother, who had much to do with shaping her twin tots into twin terrors.

	Changes in gangster genre free essays
		A true British gangster film is “the krays” which is based on gangster life in London in the sixties.
		The Kray twins are stereotyped as having two sides to them, one side showing their love for family life for example their care for their mother and each other, and their “gangster” image which we see through their crimes, brutal killings and fighting.
		The “Krays” is very different to modern day gangster films such as Guy Ritchie’s “Lock, stock, and two smoking barrels” where it tries to stereotype British gangsters in London from current time.
