not what I expected
Added 5/17/2009
I am a fan of Tom Selleck and have purchased most of the available DVDs he has been featured or associated with. When I saw the photo on The Gypsy Warriors I was intersted and read what little data that was offered... little information and no story line or teaser that told the fact that this was more or less a tv show expanded to a less than satisfying waste of time and money. I would classify it as a C story and a C+ for acting. It is one of those cases where: "if you have never heard of the movie there is a good reason". My one consolation is that the service to get it was good, and the price was less than going to the theater. Would I recommend it to a friend? No, but I will keep it on my shelf as reminder to look closer before I leap.

The worst war movie ever filmed and I'm sure one Tom Selleck (one of my very favorite actors) wishes he'd never done. I only gave it one star because I could not rate it with none. A true STINKER!!!

Classicaly Bad

We are fans of Tom Selleck. He is not a great actor but a wonderful personality. In this movie his performance, when compared to the rest of the cast, is of Oscar quality. The direction and camera work are as bad as they get. The script was found in someones trash.

The Gypsy Warriors
Added 7/10/2008
Received the DVD and when we tried to watch it there was a loud noise and picture 'skipping'. I returned it and then received a second DVD - it too was defective. I returned the second one and asked for a refund. I still would like the DVD but it's too much trouble returning the item. I have ordered many DVD's from Amazon without any trouble.

Not Tom Selleck's best movie
Added 7/2/2008
First of all the music is really bad.
The one fellow in 1940 France calls the Tom Selleck character "Gung Ho"
which comes from a 1942 Marine movie ?
Some of the props in the biology lab are just there by
"time travel' with plastics and electronics not seem until the 1980's.
I have no idea if France ever had a secret biological
lab, but if it did, it would have been very near
Paris?
In short the acting may be better than the script writing,
producing and directing here?
Missions like this weren't organized until later in the war
and were mostly carried out by British commandos under the OSS?
The art work in contrast to the music is very well done.
