Rocky is
a 1976 film written by and starring Sylvester Stallone and directed by
John G.
Avildsen. It tells the rags-to-riches American Dream story of Rocky
Balboa, an uneducated
but good-hearted debt collector for a loan shark in Philadelphia.
Rocky
received positive reviews when it was released in 1976. Roger Ebert of
the
Chicago Sun-Times gave Rocky 4 out of 4 stars and Box Office Magazine
claimed
that audiences would be "... touting Sylvester 'Sly' Stallone as a new
star".
