The Gypsy Warriors

I am a big fan of Tom Selleck and WWII movies but it was a chore to make it through this one. The made-for-TV movie storyline is like something from an old B-movie serial.

The Germans, while occupying France, have a secret chemical lab in which the Alies want to take the chemicals and destroy the lab. They plan to do this with the help of local gypsies; whose characters are heavily stereotyped.

So what's the plan: get Nazi uniforms, fake German accents, and just go right on into the secret base without anyone realizing. I honestly think Colonel Hogan and the men from Stalag 13 did it better and with much more flair.

If it wasn't for Tom Selleck, I would have turned it off; but my commitment to Mr. Selleck forced me to finish it, all the while praying for the credits to show up.

OK, at the price it's being sold and if you are true Selleck fans go ahead and buy the DVD. However, It is as close to a "one time watch" movie as it can get... even starring Tom Selleck.

PS: If you insist on getting the movie, try getting the "Murder 101/Gypsy Warriors - Double Feature!" You still get the Tom Selleck movie, but you also get "Murder 101" with Pierce Brosnan, which isn't too bad.
