He's the new king of the gypsies Eric Roberts' first film role co-starring with Annette O'Toole, Judd Hirsch, Susan Sarandon, Brooke Shields, and Annie Potts Directed by Frank Pierson and based on the book by Peter Maas Roberts plays the grandson of a gypsie who inherits the NYC clan in the 1960s But his father opts to take him out of the picture when he abandons all traditional values for the sake of modernity For thousands of years the community comes together against the world even if they fight amongst themselves, you don't need to have a million dollars to be a millionaire, in a democracy there are no kings But this movie shows a power struggle within among relatives It takes an hour and 15 min for the actual plot to kick in which I was baffled by But I'm surprised this is the most villainous character Hirsch has ever played and Roberts plays the rebellious young man very well He's pushed to the very breaking point wanting to distance himself from his roots And this works as a timeless portrayal of clashing generations of traditional cultural and familial values Good but could've been better

Perhaps 1978 was a re-release year. But, I saw this in the theatre in the early 1970s...1971 or '72. A favorite.
