This week we’re talking about the 1976 classic Rocky, starring (and written by) Sylvester Stallone and directed by John G. Avildsen. This film tells the dramatic “American Dream” story of Rocky Balboa: Philly’s working class hero who rises up from being a debt collector to getting a shot at boxing’s world heavyweight championship title vs the mythical Apollo Creed.
