Stay Hungry is a 1976 dramatic comedy film by director Bob Rafelson from a screenplay by Charles Gaines (adapted form his 1972 novel of the same name). The story centers on a young Birmingham, Alabama scion, played by Jeff Bridges, who gets involved in a shady real-estate deal. In order to close the deal, he needs to buy a gym building to complete a multi-parcel lot. When he visits the gym, however, he finds himself romantically interested in the receptionist (Sally Field) and drawn to the carefree lifestyle of the Austrian body builder "Joe Santo" (Arnold Schwarzenegger) who is training there for the Mr. Universe competition.
Schwarzenegger won a
Golden Globe for "Best Acting Debut in a Motion Picture" for his portrayal of Joe Santo in
Stay Hungry. Technically, it was not his debut role, since he had played Hercules (as "Arnold Strong") in the 1970 film
Hercules in New York and a hit man in
Robert Altman's 1973 film
The Long Goodbye. It was, however, the first time his voice had been heard on film as
Hercules was dubbed and the hit man character was deaf and mute.
