5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best flicks, December 5, 2003

By

This review is from: Paradise Alley [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Who ever doesn't like this movie, doen't understand what it is about! It is a great flick about the start of Pro Wrestling. Like "The Gangs of NY" it shows the side of the city that the wealthy "Tadamy Hall" people don't like you to see. Not only is it factual about a time after WWI but before WWII, it shows how people really lived. It was a tuff life and you did what you could do to make a buck! Anne Archer is as hot as can be. Sly plays a great role in Cosmo, and Victor, the big brother is super. A great flick, I wish they would bring it out in widescreen DVD. Remember, the critics hated this flick which usually means it is a good movie, unless you like artsy fartsy junk. This is a man's flick a belongs in the catagory "Movies for men who like movies"!
