Correction: What causes the green light in Hanratty's glasses is actually an anti-reflection coating on his lenses, which many people have on their spectacles. Any bright lights are deflected slightly, so as not to blind the wearer too much (particularly useful when driving at night, for example) - but the reflected light shows up on the outside of the lenses as green. If you look carefully, you can actually spot this on people's glasses in loads of films and TV shows. But I don't know if the anti-reflection coating was available in the 60's, when the movie was set, so it may be a mistake that Hanratty's glasses have it at all. But I'm not sure. Was that exhaustive and tedious enough for you?
