time. The dress and strike schedule ran into several pages. Another area that fell under our remit, and an area that Brian had a particular interest in, was the cars. The decision to use American cars was based on fact; the Krays actually did drive the exact type of cars depicted in the film. The challenge was to find good- looking left-hand-drive American vehicles that were of the period and hadn't been modified or pimped up. Vehicles coordinator Gary Weekes threw the net far and wide and through car clubs and private owners the right vehicles were found, the star being the green Lincoln Continental. Something that had seemed difficult at the beginning ended up being easier to find than some of the UK cars. One in particular, Nipper Read's car which follows the Krays for most of the film was a Ford Anglia, almost the exact opposite of the big colourful American cars. It was small and boxy but needing to be versatile, we ended up having several versions of this car, including a chopped-up version to fit the rather tall cinematographer Dick Pope and sound man. There was a pool of about fifty vehicles, which were rotated to create the right amount of vehicles for each scene.
