The Krays
“When people are afraid of you... you can do anything. Remember that.”
19901h 59mDir Peter Medak6.0TMDB
Twins Ronnie and Reggie Kray are raised in east London, under the influence of their hateful but doting mother Violet. As they grow up, Ronnie's violent nature takes over, and Reggie follows his brother's lead. The two become notorious crime lords who rule over the East End club scene. But at the height of their power, the brothers veer into different lives, giving the older crime bosses a chance to reclaim what the Krays took from them.

The scene we cut
Bethnal Green
Reggie sorts out two men in a Bethnal Green street.
The real Reggie Kray was consulted from prison and reportedly approved of the Kemps because they were twins from working class London. Billie Whitelaw's Violet is the performance critics remember, and the film was Britain's biggest home-grown hit of the year.
