Sylvester Stallone and the odds are fighting again, now in the wrestling ring. As Cosmo Carboni, he and his two brothers fantasy of getting away from Hell's Kitchen (circa 1946) and in the big moment. The depart signs point to Paradise Alley, a sleazy individual pub at which the floorshow is composed of raucous wrestling games with bags. Stallone perhaps not merely wrote this film and starred , he made his debut in this tale.
