I could be mis-remembering it (my age is starting to show in the most inconvenient ways), but wasn't "Soylent Green" adapted from the Harry Harrison book, "Make Room, Make Room"?


Did is a word of achievement
Won't is a word of retreat
Might is a word of bereavement
Can't is a word of defeat
Ought is a word of duty
Try is a word of each hour
Will is a word of beauty
Can is a word of power
