Hi, This is very strange :-)
I came accross this thread whilst searching the film 'The Romany'. I have been (unsuccesfully) looking for it for a couple of years for the same reason as you. My ancstors were meant to be part of the cast.  One of my uncles was named after Victor McLaglen because of this.
Do you know where it was filmed? I had been told that it was in Ireland.

Hi. it was filmed up the north of Scotland. every one was at Buckie fair and parts of the film was shot at the Juke of Athel's estate at Glen Tilt. i know some one who was named after Victor Magloclen could be the same person? would love to see the film but i cant get my hands on it?

Hi,
I don't think it's the same person, 'My' Victor passed away a long time ago - He was only in his 20's.
See the Sctland thing throws a spanner in the works, I don't kow if my family travelled up there. I can ask an old family member though. I don't know if the stories are true about them appering in the film, But I have looked up some info on it and besides the name Victor, There are also 2 other names that are my family names that are cast members names in the film.

rootbeer asked about other Roma films. Well my nana was in one during the 60s if you go on utube and put in Poor Cow I think it is in part 4 just after the couple walk out from under a waterfall the scene jumps and you can see my nana telling fortunes. My family are the Price's from Wales and we are related to Herons. Lock, Loveridges, Burton, Holland, Lees, Evon, Mitchells, Stevensons, Sterigs/Stereos, 
My nana was Katherine Price nee (Rafferty from Ireland)...

Also there is another excellent movie called Angelo My Love with most of the people in that being American Roma family, it;s excellent and romaness is used often in the film

Another film is called Black Cat White Cat, this is made in Europe and is quite funny, they are I think Bulgaruin Roma the dialect is a littl different so I cannot make out every thing they say, but you can put english dialect to it if you have that feature on your tele.

I have not seen The Widow of Dolwyn  but I would love to see that I don't know if I am related to the Woods but I am sure somewhere down the line we must be.

I hope this info is useful

Have you looked at the International Film Data Base website? It's listed on there.  Don't know if you can download it from there or not, but maybe they will tell you where you can get it?
