“Rocky,” the timeless underdog story that captured the hearts of millions, opens on the cold, mean streets of Philadelphia in 1975. The titular character, Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone), is an interesting mixture of seeming contradictions. Physically, he has an intimidating, brutish presence that makes his job as a loan-shark debt collector a shoo-in. However, as the movie rolls on, we see layers peel back and realize that Rocky has a tender, lovable side as well.
