Hi,
Oh boy, would I love to find all of the eps!

I do have from Europe the originally released VHS of Gangster Chronicles 1 and Gangster Chronicles 2, which if I remember correctly is the original uncut and unedited mini series that started the series. The USA released tape was edited (have that too).

As for the following television eps, i have not been able to locate and it is on my holy grail of want lists.

If anyone else has any info, pls post.

I don't recall this series, nor do I have it. BUT...I've always wondered why Joe Penny hasn't been seen much in the past ~20 years. Very handsome guy & I thought he seemed to do a good job in all the shows I'd seen him in. There's even a remainder of a bad taste in my mouth from one of the made for tv movies where he played a married cop who killed his pregnant girlfriend. He is still alive, isn't he?

I never saw this show, but I just checked IMDB to see if Penny is still around - and he's still going strong. Looks like he's appeared in all of the Jane Doe films done for Hallmark, among a lot of other stuff. He hasn't been sitting on his hands the last 20 years! :>

Thanks, Deb! I'll have to check into some of those shows!
