Based on the best-selling non-fiction book by Peter Mass (author of The Valachi Papers and Serpico), King of the Gypsies is a compelling and realistic depiction of life inside the mysterious gypsy culture.

Interesting subject and a rich cast of characters.I remember seeing this movie a long time ago before I even knew that a Gypsie was a real person, as a kid I always thought they were just some kind of fantasy characters. It would be great to be able to rent this movie or have the option to buy it in HD. As I stated in the title, this movie has a great cast and I highly recomend this movie, but you might want to wait for it to become available as a rental..Score: 5/5
