The first sneak previews of Sylvester Stallone’s Paradise Alley took place on September 8, 1978. Sly wrote, directed, starred and even sang the title song. As Dave Buzan says…
This incredibly underrated Stallone film had the misfortune of following “Rocky,” so audiences were expecting something quite different.
It’s a strong movie that deserves more recognition than it has received over the years.
