***Dull as dishwater WWII secret mission involving Gypsies and a deadly toxin***
Before America enters WWII, two Army captains (Tom Selleck and James Whitmore Jr.) are aided by a couple of gypsies (Joseph Ruskin and Lina Raymond) in a covert mission in northern France to destroy a toxin capable of killing half the globe in six months located in a secret lab beneath a winery.
There were a lot of good TV movies in the 70s, even great ones, but "The Gypsy Warriors" (1978) isn’t one of them. It comes across as a more serious episode of Wonder Woman, but without the fun spirit and Lynda Carter in her scanty costume. Yes, it’s that bad.
The movie shows that acquiring Nazi uniform, faking a German accent and being recognized as a Nazi officer at an important hidden lab is easy as pie. But the protagonists are likeable and raven-haired Lina Raymond is beautiful. The last act finally works up some interest.
The film runs 1 hour, 16 minutes and was shot at Universal Studios.
GRADE: D
