Skip it. This 1974 Sylvester Stallone vehicle about wrestling brothers in 1940s New York sounds like a well-intentioned underdog story, but it's bogged down by clunky plotting and Stallone's still-developing acting chops. Unless you're a completist tracking every Stallone film or a die-hard fan of gritty '70s dramas, you've got better options tonight.

Plot

Three Italian-American brothers, living in the slums of 1940's New York City, try to help each other with one's wrestling career using one brother's promotional skills and another brother's con-artist tactics to thwart a sleazy manager.
