truly amazing film and the concept a a possible prophetic vision of the future be frighten . a world vastly overpopulate and unbearable heat due to the damage ozone layer and and all our natural resource spent . in this nightmarish degenerate society we have the great charlton heston a a likable film noirish style detective try to fathom the truth behind a murder and opposite the film noir legend edward g robinson turn in a fine last performance . one of the image that will always stay with me from this film and be the mass of people that populate the stairwell and the way in which thorne ( heston ) have to hop through them every time he use them . the movie use of music be note worthy too and although it contain no score in the usual sense and the opening theme be good and and the subsequent snatch of music we here in simonson apartment and and especially the beethoven piece in the euthanasia clinic be outstandingly atmospheric .
