The Krays - A Life of Crime DVD

Take a journey back to the 1950s East End as Krays' biographer Fred Dinenage retraces the extraordinary lives of two of Britain's most notorious criminals.Ronnie and Reggie Kray are perhaps the most notorious criminals in British history. The East End gangsters earned a reputation as two of the most unpredictable and deadly villains living and working in 1950s London. Here, broadcaster and journalist Fred Dinenage recalls how he was personally chosen by the Krays to write their story, and takes a journey back through the lives of Ronnie and Reggie to see how right... he got it. Dinenage takes a tour through the old haunts of the twins, from Old Repton boxing club where they spent much of their formative years to the Carpenters Arms, scene of the murder of Jack 'the hat' McVity at the hands of Reggie. Along the way, Dinenage recounts his memories of acting as the Krays' biographer and speaks to those who were close associates of the twins for the very first time, to find out what the twins were really like. Interviews with 'Mad' Frankie Fraser, trusted 'enforcer' Freddie Foreman, firm member Lenny Hamilton and jewel thief Billy Frost help Dinenage to retrace Ronnie and Reggie's extraordinary lives from their childhood to their heyday and finally to the demise of one of British crime's most infamous partnerships.
