Soylent Green.....1973.....

Watching my DVR’d copy…….funny, they’re talking about the end of the world in 2020, people wearing masks like the Covid masks, pollution, not enough to eat and only the rich can have the most normal things. Forgot a lot of this movie.

as you watch the movie:



It's too bad what he became later because he was once a very decent person.

But who is that behind Brando?


(Heston was pretty good in Omega Man, though I still prefer Vincent Price as The Last Man on Earth.)

He lists so many other famous attendees, more actors were there than Oscars Night

In that image of the Youtube video he's wearing a light jacket, and the person from my photo is wearing a dark jacket. Looks like the mystery will live on.

For someone with such a long and distinguished career, he was very underrated in this IMO. I feel like some of his very best work was done when he wasn't playing a gangster.
