Glory Alley is a 1952 American musical drama film directed by Raoul Walsh and starring Ralph Meeker, Leslie Caron and Gilbert Roland.
[2] New Orleans newspaper columnist Gabe Jordan, about to retire, tells the story of a most unforgettable character, boxer Socks Barbarossa.
A surgeon, Dr. Ardley, believes there's a 50-50 chance of correcting the Judge's blindness, and it comes to light that he and Socks are acquainted from their Milwaukee younger days.
Angie, too, vouches for Socks' character to the Judge, who didn't even realize she'd been working in a club to make ends meet.
He concedes to the operation, Socks returns to the ring and great success, and everyone goes to meet newspaperman Gabe at the club to celebrate.
