Sylvester Stallone is fighting with the odds again, this time at the wrestling ring. As Cosmo Carboni, he and his two brothers dream to getting away from Hell's Kitchen (circa 1946) and also then into the big moment. The exit signs point out Paradise Alley, a sleazy pub where the floorshow is composed of wrestling matches with bookings. Stallone maybe not just wrote that this film and starred , in addition, he left his debut in this story.
