Country of origin, US One-Sheet for Sylvester Stallone's "Rocky" (1977). One of Stallone's best film poster images, this is unmistakably 'Rocky'. Raw, simple black-and-white design showcases (as it should do) a defeated Rocky with his wife Adrian (Talia Shire); the design means you never forget who this film is about and its message. Sylvester Stallone was so poor before filming Rocky (1976), he had to sell his dog for fifty dollars. A week later, he sold the script for Rocky (1976) and bought him back. Rocky's dog, Butkus, was this same dog.
