This movie is loosely based on the book Make Room! Make Room! by Harry Harrison. The movie used the ideas and some of the characters but very different from book. I enjoyed both very much and would recommend both. The movie really made you think what if this did happen and could it happen. Most of the characters were very realistic and Edward G Robinson plays a perfect role as Sol.
What's great about it: It is one of those movies that really makes you think about "what if".
