Stay Hungry (1976)

Rich guys who have everything, including good looks and an impeccable pedigree, always want more, which explains why they are forever forsaking their rarefied dating pool and falling in love with spunky chicks from the skimpy side of the tracks. As Stay Hungry (1976) charmingly illustrates, love and lust are so much earthier and real when unhampered by considerations of protecting and expanding vast personal wealth. Handsome Hollywood prince Jeff Bridges tries to hide his background of privilege and high-priced orthodonture to make time with gym receptionist Sally Field. If the moral of the story is that money is irrelevant, then what picture was Arnold Schwarzenegger, in his first major role, watching?

If an average man is said to be “smuggling plums” when wearing tight jockeys, when Arnold Schwarzenegger does the same thing, it’s called “smuggling cantaloupes.”  But you can forget having the opportunity to see his full fruit basket.  Schwarzenegger only shares that with his real life live-in maid.
