Glory Alley- Get Out of this Lane Real Fast *
31 October 2009
Warning: Spoilers
This was certainly a colossal bomb of a film.

It is as if pieces of various stories were melded to bring us this absolutely terrible film.

Nice seeing Louis Armstrong looking so young and singing. He held the trumpet but where was his playing?

I never saw the Korean War go so fast in a film. Ralph Meeker went there and returned a hero in record time. He could have mailed back his Congressional honor with this awful movie at any time.

Leslie Caron is even miserable in doing what she usually did best- a chanteuse. It's just unbelievable that her father detests Meeker so.

Ralph Meeker plays a boxer going up who suddenly throws it all away. Imagine, he hires Dr. "Larry Gates" to cure Caron's blindness. Gates then goes into a discussion with the father on why Meeker is so wonderful.

This is total hodge-podge at its worst.
