Brief note on film.

Lawrence has posted his review of “Soylent Green”, which we watched (in the uncut blu-ray version) recently.

Remember: if the future was bad, Heston was there!

Here: have a clip.

According to IMDB, this scene was ad-libbed by Heston and Robinson.

In his book The Actor’s Life: Journal 1956–1976, Heston wrote, “He knew while we were shooting, though we did not, that he was terminally ill. He never missed an hour of work, nor was late to a call. He never was less than the consummate professional he had been all his life. I’m still haunted, though, by the knowledge that the very last scene he played in the picture, which he knew was the last day’s acting he would ever do, was his death scene. I know why I was so overwhelmingly moved playing it with him”.
