Cry Tough

As far as I know, that's the only feature that Paul Stanley made for a theâtre release. And a pretty good one.

I haven't seen this Flick ! I keep asking TCM to show it.

This remarkable film is the first movie directed by a man named Paul Stanley. A prolific TV director, Paul Stanley made only a handful of movies, of which, as said, this is the first!

Two characters that beat Saxon up at the beginning are worth watching it just by themselves. I saw it on TCM so I am not going to complain.

John Saxon plays tough Puerto Rican kid from the Barrio District of New York who gets out of jail with the hope of going straight, only to fall right back in with the criminal element. He marries Cuban firebrand Linda Cristal to legally keep her in the country, but has a rocky reunion with his father, who loves his son despite his shame.
