AUDIENCE: That was my question—weren't you taking a real risk in that picture [Sweet Smell of Success] because of antagonizing Walter Winchell and people like that?

LANCASTER: We didn't care a thing about that. What was Walter Winchell going to do, shoot us? That wasn't the disturbing factor. The problem was, we were a young company and we were doing reasonably interesting work, we worked very independently, and this was a labor of love for us. We started out with a $600,000 budget and wound up with a film that cost $2,600,000. We paid Clifford Odets, before he got through with the script, a total of $300,000 that year. The film was a total disaster—it lost $3.5 million. It's one of those things. Yet I can't go anyplace in the world without people talking about how marvelous that picture was. When I tell them it lost money they're stunned, they can't believe it. But we didn't put our own money in it. United Artists put up the money.

CRIST: At the time, Sweet Smell of Success was considered an astounding, really daring art film, because of its grittiness.

LANCASTER: It had the special quality of that kind of life. The style of the language Odets used was very "in" New Yorkese, a special-world kind of talk. It's ironic, because we thought the film was going to be, perhaps not a huge success, but certainly a financial success, because Tony Curtis and I had just finished making a film called Trapeze and Trapeze, with Gina Lollobrigida, grossed $17 million the first time around. And if that means anything, you would think that the combination can be repeated.

CRIST: Maybe it was the difference between brawn and brains.

[dykedvonte]

MacCready being one of the few companions to not lose affinity if you eat people makes sense when you remember the fungus in Little Lamp Light grew from decomposing bodies. Like the kids weren’t eating people directly but they were eating people adjacent things.

Not to mention how the Lone Wanderer can trick the kids at LLL into buying “strange meat” to eat which is just human so it’s more likely than not they have just straight up ate people so he’s either very desensitized, knows what food desperation can do to people or feels he really has not ground to stand on since he was in the same boat whether he wanted to be or not.
