Documentary on the body-building phenomenon, done in a sort of CBS 60 Minutes style, a bit disorderly and catch-as-catch-can, and heavy on the human interest. It doesn't make any real inroads into the subject, and it doesn't approach it from many angles. But it gets ample footage of the athletes' eye-popping physiques, and it stirs up some mild drama as Arnold Schwarzenegger, a prior five-time Mr. Olympia, nears his farewell competition and a showdown with the prime challenger, Lou Ferrigno (his father and trainer, a retired cop, ceaselessly jacks up the lad's ego: "What symmetry you got, Louie! You look like something Michelangelo cut out!"). Directed by George Butler and Robert Fiore. (1976) — Duncan Shepherd
