the rise of the krays & The fall of the krays
This two part feature film follows the rise and fall of London’s most notorious gangsters; The Kray Twins. Alexa plays Lisa Prescott, an escort hired by the Krays to entertain their criminal friends. Lisa is the love interest of the Krays’ right hand man Dickie Baker, played by Phil Dunster. The two films chart many poignant scenes with Dickie and Lisa, through their meeting, tumultuous relationship, and farewell over the course of many years.
Following the success of The Rise of the Krays breaking records with the highest number of units sold for a film with a straight-to-DVD release, The Fall of the Krays was picked up by Universal Sony and went on to win Best Independent Film at the National Film Awards the following year.
Selected scenes from The Rise and Fall of the Krays. You can watch the full films online or on UK streaming services now.
“Whilst the Krays may be the main draw of the film, for me the true stars are Krays’ errand-boy gangster pal Dickie (Phil Dunster) and lady of the night Lisa (Alexa Morden) for whom Dickie has strong feelings for. These two have the most authentic presence about them.”
