    Stars: Charlton Heston, Edward G. Robinson, Leigh Taylor-Young

    Richard Fleischer directed this nightmarish science fiction vision of an over-populated world, based on the novel by Harry Harrison. In 2022, New York City is a town bursting at the seams with a 40-million-plus population. Food is in short supply, and most of the population's food source comes from synthetics manufactured in local factories – the dinner selections being a choice between Soylent Red, Soylent Yellow, or Soylent Green. When William Simonson (Joseph Cotten), an upper-echelon executive in the Soylent Company, is found murdered, police detective Thorn (Charlton Heston) is sent in to investigate the case. Helping him out researching the case is Thorn's old friend Sol Roth (Edward G. Robinson, in his final film role). As they investigate the environs of a succession of mad-from-hunger New Yorkers and the luxuriously rich digs of the lucky few, Thorn uncovers the terrible truth about the real ingredients of Soylent Green.

    IMDB | Wikipedia | Rotten Tomatoes

    The year is 2022, and the world is overpopulated to the point of disaster. In New York City, population 40,000,000, Thorn (Charlton Heston) works as a detective. He is given the case of a murdered politician to investigate; it looks as if the wealthy man has been attacked by an intruder to his exclusive apartment, but Thorn is suspicious about the way his bodyguard (Chuck Connors) had been sent out and the security system had failed for the first time in two years. Could it have been an assassination? And could it be something to do with what the politician was threatening to reveal about the world's main producer of synthetic food, the Soylent Corporation?

    Soylent Green (1973) [Re-UP]

    "Mmmm… Soylent Green!" as Homer Simpson once observed. A despairing vision of a possible future, this was loosely adapted from Harry Harrison's award-winning novel "Make Room! Make Room!" by Stanley R. Greenberg. The environmental movement was well under way, and this film sets itself up as an awful warning of what could happen if we let the population get out of control: we have food shortages, the air is thick with pollution, and the Greenhouse Effect has made the temperature unbearable. Society is divided into the have and have-nots, the needy far outnumbering those with the privileges money brings, and you're lucky to get a place to live, never mind something to eat - like the much-in-demand Soylent Green.

    Soylent Green (1973) [Re-UP]

    Charlton Heston was well into his cycle of disaster movies by now, and he plays Thorn as you'd expect: honourable, tough minded, but sympathetic. He shares his flat with his valued friend, investigator Sol Roth, played by Edward G. Robinson in his last appearance. If Thorn is the man of action, Sol is the soul of the piece, and Robinson is wonderful in the role, striking an essential note of humanity. The scenes where Sol reminisces about the good old days, and enjoys the food and drink Thorn has stolen from the politician's store cupboard, are crucially convincing.

    Soylent Green (1973) [Re-UP]

    When Sol finds out what the food is made of, he opts for assisted suicide in a huge, anodyne production line that pipes in music and projects images of the world long gone into a euthanasia room. It's a surprisingly moving scene, not just because Robinson died not long after filming it, but because it's about the only point in the film where it shows an ordinary citizen being treated kindly and with respect for a change, even if it's in the process of ending his life. Everyone else is either part of the problem, or part of the minority working to make the wealthy comfortable, such as Shirl (Leigh Taylor-Young) an attractive young woman who is "furniture" which comes with the politician's apartment.

    Soylent Green (1973) [Re-UP]

    Nowadays, it's common knowledge what Soylent Green actually is, as the story has one of those endings where even people who haven't seen it know what the big revelation is. All those citizens who start riots over the mystery food are unaware what it is they are craving; as the saying goes, if you really like sausages you should never see them being made. But the film heads so single-mindedly towards its horrified punchline that it's no wonder it has an unintentional campy tone, and couple that with the deliberate pace, it all doesn't quite have the necessary impact. I wonder what the workers in the Soylent factory eat? Music by Fred Myrow, along with various classical excerpts.

    Director Richard Fleischer (20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, The Vikings) does a solid job bringing this dystopian nightmare to the screen. In a science fiction film lacking any special effects to speak of, Fleischer focuses on the characters instead — he leaves it to the actors carry the story, and they're well up to the task.

    Soylent Green (1973) [Re-UP]

    Thorn's determination to get to the bottom of the case is somewhat unclear at first (that is, until he sees what knowledge of the all-important secret does to his dear friend Sol), but we accept his actions because Charlton Heston's such a strong performer and screen presence. His 21st Century cop is simultaneously corrupt and heroic; he may loot a crime scene of anything that isn't nailed down but in the end you know he'll try to do the right thing (This is easily Heston's best sci-fi performance after the cynical Taylor of Planet Of The Apes).

    Soylent Green (1973) [Re-UP]

    Robinson, in his final role, practically steals the film as the disillusioned Sol, a man old enough to remember the good ol' days when people ate real food (His interplay with Heston is marvelous). Tourist Trap's Chuck Connors is on hand as Simonson's sinister bodyguard; genre veteran Whit Bissell (Creature from the Black Lagoon, I Was a Teenage Frankenstein) appears as a corrupt politician. The then-29 year old Ms. Taylor-Young is, well, simply gorgeous.
