Stay Hungry
 
 
Features: DVD
 
Arnold Schwarzenegger is a pleasant surprise (Los Angeles Times) in his acting debut opposite Jeff Bridges (Seabiscuit) and Sally Field (Forrest Gump) in this richly comic and sparklingly exuberant (The Wall Street Journal) story of a young businessman who discovers himself in the wild, offbeat world of bodybuilding!When entrepreneur Craig Blake (Bridges) buys a small gym, he fully expects to demolish the place to make room for a high rise. Instead, he finds himself drawn into a world he never knew existed. From a perky gymnast (Field), who wears her heart on her leotard to a philosophizing Mr. Universe hopeful (Schwarzenegger), the freewheeling spirit of the gym touches Craig in a way he never expected and plunges him into a hilarious, off-the-wall plot to stop his high rise from ever rising!Format: DVD MOVIE
 


Editor's Note

In Bob Rafelson's STAY HUNGRY, trust fund baby Craig Blake (Jeff Bridges) gets some lessons in life when he falls in love with a girl from the wrong side of the tracks. Eschewing the dull path carved out for him by his wealthy southern family, the easy-going Craig teams up with an ambitious real estate developer in Birmingham, Alabama. In an attempt to wrest a piece of property away from its owner, Craig poses as a member of a seedy gym. But this rich boy soon finds himself taking a genuine fancy to the colorful collection of characters he meets there--in particular, bodybuilder Joe Santo (Arnold Schwarzenegger, in his first major screen role), who is training for the Mr. Universe title, and spunky blue-collar babe Mary Tate (Sally Field), the gym's receptionist. The film, based on the novel by Charles Gaines, is lighthearted, unlike Rafelson's austere earlier classics (FIVE EASY PIECES and KING OF MARVIN GARDENS) but deals with many of the same themes, such as dysfunctional families, restlessness, and rebellion.


Plot Summary

A wealthy young man falls in love with a girl from a working class background who already has a body builder boyfriend.
