Soylent Green (1973): The Banned Ending They Hid for Over 50 Years Why did the studio try to cut the most remembered scene in Soylent Green? According to the author of the book, MGM executives wanted to remove the scene where Sol Roth dies listening to Beethoven, but it was too important to the film. And the actor playing Sol knew it was the last scene of his life. Thirteen more secrets of the film: the ending that doesn't end, the book the film threw away, the cannibalism that wasn't in the novel, the furniture women and the people called books, Edward G. Robinson's secret, the postponed reunion with Charlton Heston, the scene that really was cut, the trailer that spoiled the surprise, the scene everyone thinks they saw, the drink that adopted the name, the title that lost to a TV show, the trilogy of catastrophe and how the world was built. If Sol Roth's scene had been cut, would you remember the film the same way?
