Stay Hungry - 1976 - 6/10

Peculiar, Southern Gothic film of crooks and bodybuilders.
The bad guys, once again, are property developers.
Gobbling up the block save for one holdout, the bodybuilding gym.
The moneymen slide in one of their own (Jeff Bridges) but he gets his head turned (Sally Field).
That’s the outline. The whole film is odd vignettes and Southern proverbs.
An improvised rawness runs throughout.
Will appeal more to Southerners, and Schwarzenegger fans.
