The title line of an absolute classic film came to mind this morning as all of a sudden the worlds ecconomy collapsing doesnt seem such fiction anymore. It's how my mind works. Anyway, one person got the film title, once I'd given him the year as 1973, withing 20 seconds.
What stunned me was that the rest of the office hadn't heard of the film full stop. I'm still stunned.

Anyone else have a funny Friday experience?

ps I'll leave the title for you quiz buffs. It aint hard to work out with google.

It's on TV sometimes... Some parts might seem a little weak by more modern standards, but the basic issues at stake are highly relevant, and I remember finding the scenes of intolerable overcrowding (people sleeping in piles on staircases etc.) quite powerful.

Very loosely based on the classic (well, seminal, anyway) novel Make Room! Make Room! by Harry Harrison. There weren't that many people talking about overpopulation in the mid 60s...
