Richard Fleischer‘s adaptation of Harry Harrison’s satirical and distinctly plausible novel Make Room! Make Room!, which is set in the over-crowded New York of 2022. Charlton Heston plays a cop who’s alarmed to discover the truth about the synthetic foodstuff, known as Soylent Green, which is keeping the teeming, hungry population fed.
Your ticket price for this Cinema Rediscovered screening in the Gluttony, Decadence and Resistance season includes a coach trip from the Watershed to the historic Curzon Cinema in Clevedon, where there’ll be a guided tour and demonstration of the Christie organ before Peter Walsh introduces the film.
