The technical consultant for the film was Frank R.
Bowerman, who was president of the American Academy for
Environmental Protection at the time.
One of the scenes of the "beautiful earth" shown to Sol
as he is dying is an opening shot from Far from the Madding
Crowd (1967) (a flock of sheep on a green hillside).
This was Edward G. Robinson's last film.
The scene where Thorne and Roth share a meal of fresh food
was not originally in the script, but was ad-libbed by
Heston and Robinson at director Fleischer's request.
The videogame in Simonson's apartment, "Computer Space",
was one of the first coin-operated videogames,
manufactured by Nutting Associates in 1971 and designed by
Nolan Bushnell, who later founded Atari and "Pong".
One set of scenes in the original release, where a second
family is housed with Thorne and Roth, was deleted from
later copies of the film.
Coincidentally, the director's surname, Fleischer, is
German for "butcher."
The original title of Harrison's book, "Make Room! Make
Room!" was changed by the producers, who feared that
audiences would confuse it with the Danny Thomas TV
series "Make Room for Daddy".
Edward G. Robinson was almost totally deaf when he made
this movie, and only able to hear anyone if they spoke
directly into his ear. Because of this, scenes with him
talking to other people had to be shot several times before
he got the rhythm of the dialogue and was able to respond
to people as if he could really hear them. And because he
was unable to hear director Richard Fleischer yell "cut"
when a scene went wrong, Robinson would often continue
acting out the scene, unaware that shooting had stopped
seconds earlier.
The music which played when Edward G. Robinson was "going
home" was: The overture was the love theme from
Tchaikovsky's "Romeo and Juliet". When the visual
presentation started it was the first movement of
Beethoven's "Symphony #6 (The Pastoral)". When a flock of
sheep show up it switches to "Morning" from Grieg's "Peer
the Gynt Suite #1". Finally moving in the end to "Asas
Death", also from the "Peer Gynt Suite"
The word soylent is supposed to suggest soy + lentil.
Goofs: When Thorn is in the Soylent Green factory, he
knocks two factory employees off the catwalk. A stunt
mattress can clearly be seen sticking out from underneath
conveyor belt where the second one lands.
When Thorn goes into the bedroom, the drink in his hand
switches from a highball glass to a tumbler, then back to
a highball glass.
The hit man shoots the priest in the confessional using a
snub-nosed revolver with a sound suppressor fitted on it.
Because of a revolver's design, suppressors don't work on
them.
When Thorne is speaking to Sol in the suicide room, as the
Permitted" light blinks on and off the audio cord on the
panel is seen to shift.
Enjoy this great classic sci-fi flick from VH-PROD.
