...Jackson Pollock's red period. After planting evidence on one of the deceased, Ludlow finds a cramped wall recess, with two girls trussed up and cowering inside. They stare up at him trembling, wondering what's he got in mind. "It's OK," he whispers. "I'm a cop...
...Back in the '70s, the director Robert Aldrich outlined distinctions between New York and L.A. police. In the Big Apple, he said, the cops are basically in it for the money, knowing that bribes and kickbacks will put their kids through college.

The Soylent Corporation, which runs the town, determines there's only one way to feed these people: by feeding them people. The bitter cop Heston plays is a precursor to the Harrison Ford role in Blade Runner. One big difference: Soylent Green, and Heston's other s-f horror shows, made lots of money. The star's presence brought the crowds in to watch their doomed destiny...
