Stallones directing debut is a forgotten gem, back when it was released crushed by the critics and snubbed by the audiences. Wrongfully so, because this is great film that especially today makes you wonder whatever happened to Sylvster Stallone the artist. Here he was in all his glory: writer, director, star (even singer of the title song), and maybe that was the reason this film was ignored and critically lambasted back then. When Rocky came out, everybody body loved the writer-actor, but as we know, more sooner then later, people (especially the press) love to turn on the one they once favoured. Paradise Alley is a beautiful fim that needs to be rediscovered. Its made by someone who loves to tell a good, human story, captured in beautiful shots (just watch credit montage - the rooftop contest) Its full of colorful characters, full of warmth and feeling and wonderful humor. This film was a promise Stallone sadly later on never fulfilled, maybe because everyone turned so harsh on this one, which is something I will never understand. After decades of forgettable movies I wish Stallone would finally defy all nay-sayers and go back to stuff like this. He did by starring in Copland, but since then he made horribly choices as an actor, doing movies which didn't even make it to the theatres. 　　imdb comment 　　译文(3): 史泰龙导演的处女作是一块被遗忘的宝石，早在它上映时就遭到了评论家的碾压和观众的冷【资源囤-ZiYuanTun.Com】。这是错误的，因为这是一部伟大的电影，尤其是今天，它让你怀疑艺术家西尔维斯特·史泰龙到底发生了什么。在这里，他是他所有的荣耀：作家、导演、明星（甚至是主打歌的歌手），也许这就是当时这部电影被忽视和批判的原因。当洛基出场时，每个人都喜欢这位编剧演员，但正如我们所知，人们（尤其是媒体）迟早会喜欢上他们曾经喜欢的那个。天堂小巷是一个需要重新发现的美丽的地方。它是由一个喜欢讲一个好的、人性化的故事的人制作的，用美丽的镜头捕捉（只需观看信用蒙太奇-屋顶比赛）它充满了多彩的人物，充满了温暖和感觉，还有精彩的幽默。这部电影是史泰龙后来遗憾地从未兑现的承诺，也许是因为每个人都对这部电影如此苛刻，这是我永远无法理解的。在经历了几十年令人难忘的电影之后，我希望史泰龙最终能拒绝所有反对者，回到这样的事情上去。他出演了《科普兰》，但从那时起，他作为一名演员做出了可怕的选择，拍摄了一些连电影院都没有上映的电影。
