Glory Alley Summary
Director: Raoul Walsh
Genres: Drama
Rating:
Authentic New Orleans locations enhance the overall enjoyment of the prizefight melodrama Glory Alley. A mere few seconds before a championship bout, Socks Barbarrosa (Ralph_Meeker) decides to throw in the towel so far as his boxing career is concerned. Socks' friends, family and handlers assume that he's turned yellow. A series of complex flashbacks, coupled with a subsequent tour of duty in Korea, prove otherwise. For those not interested in cinematic pugilism, Glory Alley offers such sidelines pleasures as the jazz music of Jack_Teagarden and the dancing of leading lady Leslie_Caron. Kurt Kazner also provides some choice moments as a blind "boxing groupie" who happens to be Caron's father. Hal Erickson, Rovi
