Summary: Okay movie.
Review: At least ARNOLD is getting something out of this film. No I'm not talking about SALLY FIELD either! He gets a recognizable supporting role! This film starts to set ARNOLD's table with something worth while. JEFF BRIDGES also stars in this flick. STAY HUNGRY (1976) Rated: R 3 stars out of 5.

Summary: Interesting Minor Film With Arnold Schwarzenegger!
Review: For a film with the kind of ensemble star power that this art-film had, one woul d be surprised to find that it also was the first serious role for future mega-star Arnold Schwarzenegger, playing a suprisingly articulate and overwhelmingly personally irresistable bodybuilder, in essence, himself. yet this first attempt at serious acting was with the support of Jeff Bridges and Sally Field, both with big reputations , and also from famed director Bob Rafelson, who has done a lot of stellar work. The plot is a bit silly and contrived; Bridges plays a down on his luck good ole boy, who tries unsuccesfully at first to ploy his charm into talking the owner of a small and musty gym into relinquishing his lease so Bridges' shady real estate partners can go ahead with a big down-town development. The problem is that Bridges begins to empathize with and befriend this motley crew of off-beat character, including the ever-smiling and instantly likeable Arnold, who shows himself to be quite adept at handling a fiddle. And incidentally, that really is him playing as the film cranks away. The film never saw wide distribution, but is quite interesting because of who was in it as well as for some of the connections hovering just below the surface. The screen writer was also the author of the original novel, a guy named Charles Gaines, who had gone on to later co-author the smash best selling book, "Pumping Iron", whose primary focus of interest was, of course, Arnold Schwarzenegger. This is a good movie for a rainy afternoon, sweet and sentimental in all the right places, if somewhat insubstantial. Think of it as "Going My Way" on steroids! I think you'll be surprised how much you like it, in spite of some hokey moments. Enjoy!

Summary: Not a bad movie
Review: If you are looking for a great script exhibiting the artistic acting skills of Jeff Bridges and Sally Field...forget it! If you are expecting a Arnold in a Collateral Damage or Terminator type role---again forget it. This movie was made in the mid 1970's. It really doesn't do much for bodybuilding but it did launch Arnold to stardom. You also get to see the beautiful Sally Field and the distinquished Jeff Bridges, the real stars of this movie. If you are a Arnold fan, you may be dissapointed. Seeing Arnold play a fiddle is interesting. Stay Hungry worth 4 stars.

Summary: If you grew up in Birmingham
Review: If you grew up in Birmingham, specifically Mountain Brook, in the 50s to the early 70's, this movie is a hoot. Look closely and you can see all of the people you know in the characters of the movie. The characters are based on real people, making the movie far more entertaining for those who have been there.

Summary: Deceptive Marketing of Film
Review: If you were to take the packaging of "Stay Hungry" at face value you would think that the film is primarily a body-building film and that Arnold Schwarzenegger is the film's star. Nothing could be further from the truth. The film's main focus is about a recently orphaned rich kid(Jeff Bridges)from Birmingham,Alabama who along with his business partners is trying to buy a gym so they can tear it down and build apartments. These plans fall along the wayside when he falls for the gym's cute gymnast(Sally Field) and developes a friendship with the champion bodybuider(Schwarzenegger).This film takes a while to warm to because of it's unique rhythms. Bridges' character isn't an easy one to warm to because he seems a little self-absorbed and impulsive. That said, credit director Bob Rafelson for taking difficult material and making it interesting. As for Arnold's performance, he's very charismatic and has little trouble tackling the dramatic elements required of him. It's a wonder he didn't attempt more challenging roles in his career as opposed to the action parts that he churned out. Plus, he plays a mean fiddle.

Summary: MUST READ FOR ANY ARNOLD FAN
Review: Strange, strange movie. Doesn't really have much of a plot. Goes from real estate deals to hosting Ahnold playing bluegrass to a bunch of uppercrust sissies to half naked body builders running around Charleston to catch someone, but with time to stop and pose.

Summary: Introducing Ar-nold!!!
Review: This movie is largely what brought the great Arnold S. to prominence as a actor. Arnold even won a Golden Globe award for his performance!Stay Hungry is somewhat of a quirky movie. Seeing Arnold play a fiddle, the beautiful Sally Fields who gets raped in this movie (yeah the Flying Nun) and excellent acting and athletic skills by Jeff Bridges (dodging barbells, dumbells and iron plates by a madman) makes Stay Hungry a enjoyable and rewarding movie to watch.
