Title?

[edit]

Just wondering where the inspiration for the unusual title came from. I haven't seen the film, but I assume it's not actually about cannibals! Captain Quirk (talk) 16:30, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I wondered that, too. I found that the New York Times said this at the time - "The title is unexplained, for these four principals exist on an exclusive diet of alcohol and scenery." - https://www.nytimes.com/1960/09/23/archives/all-the-fine-young-cannibals-arrives.html -- Beardo (talk) 01:45, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
i haven't seen it either, but is it a tale of shallow people using and "devouring" each other? i could perhaps see the metaphor in that case. 2601:19C:527E:56C0:2881:79C2:9E8F:CF57 (talk) 05:26, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
