...what hasn't been said about Soylent Green? This Movie ranks in my book as an all time favorite. I first saw this movie at the now closed Rodeo Drive-In in Tucson, AZ. in 1973, and still to this day, It makes me more aware of what's to come if we as habitants of this planet don't take more care of it and ourselves! Released in 1973, this movie takes place in the future and by now, most of country is in ruins . . . more or less. "Chuck" Heston plays a cop investigating a homicide of William R. Simonsen (Played by Joseph Cotten & like Eddie Robinson, this too was his last movie completed). To make a long story short, the "secret" of Soylent Green is uncovered and ....well, take it from there! This movie (if you know your actors) included cast members from other Sci-Fi pictures as well as well known "character actors". I just discovered that this movie is being re-made. In my opinion (for what it's worth), this movie should be left alone and not re-made!! This Classic ... after more than 30 years since it's release, is more popular than ever!! Also, the motion picture soundtrack has now become available! Before the VHS/DVD and the now released soundtrack become obsolete, GRAB IT!!! By the way, Leigh Taylor-Young is an ABSOLUTE BABE in this movie!
