Summary

LIVES OF THE INFAMOUS documents the glorious highs and horrific lows of the notorious Wanger Twins - East End brothers, who ruled the London club scene throughout the 1950s, before being betrayed in a police sting, then rising again with an unlikely pop hit, Wet Spanish Legs. With Jim Broadbent. The first part of LIVES OF THE INFAMOUS tells the extraordinary life story of Adam and Dunhill Wanger, who ruled London’s murky underworld in the Swinging 60s, before being brought to their knees by an ingenious Scotland Yard sting during the Miss London pageant of 1965.
