'I Play Rocky' revives the gamble that made Sylvester Stallone a superstar

Sylvester Stallone wrote and starred in the original Rocky film in 1975 after refusing offers to sell the screenplay for substantial sums of money. The actor retained the lead role instead of accepting higher pay to let another actor play the character. "I Play Rocky" is a documentary examining Stallone's decision to perform in his own film rather than profit from selling the script.
