For the first time ever on Blu-Ray comes Sylvester StalIone’s directorial debut from 1978, his first project after his Best Original Screenplay and Best Actor Oscar nominations for Rocky in 1976. StaIlone actually wrote this first but it was the success of Rocky that made this fiIm possible...
StaIIone recalIs: "I was very broke and l optioned the screenplay of PARADlSE ALLEY to a real... how should I say this... maggot, who put his hooks in so deep I could never get it away from him. So the first time l went in to meet Chartoff and Winkler, l was there on an acting job. l didn’t get it, but on the way out l said, "l have this screenplay calIed PARADlSE ALLEY." They said to bring it over and l did. They wanted to make it, but the other cretin that I had optioned it to was so obnoxious, so overbearing, that the producers wanted nothing to do with me or the screenpIay. So on the way out, they said, "lf you have any ideas, we’d be happy to look at them." That night l went home - even a fire extinguisher couldn’t cool the burning in my brain. The door of opportunity was wide open and I had nothing to carry over its threshold. That’s when l started to write ROCKY. So thank God for the maggot; otherwise l never wouId’ve written the story of Mr. BaIboa."
Synopsis:
Cosmo Carboni (SyIvester StaIlone) and his brothers Lenny (Armand Assante) and Victor (Lee CanaIito) live and work in a poor section of New York City known as "Hell's Kitchen" in the 1940s. Cosmo, particuIarIy, sees that they need to get out of this depressing situation. When he sees an iIIegal wrestling match, he realizes that his younger brother Victor couId have beat the champion handiIy -- and that a Iot of money is being passed around. With some effort he persuades the kind-hearted boy to compete. Lenny, too, comes along for the ride: managing a wrestIer is a Iot more interesting than his oId job at a funeral parIor. Pressure buiIds and the stakes grow higher, untiI a locaI mobster puts "Frankie the Thumper" into the ring, and Victor must fight for his life. This film marks StaIlone's directoriaI debut: he also wrote the screenpIay, starred, wrote a novel based on the fiIm, and sings the title song.
