Product Description

Roger Moore was introduced as James Bond in this 1973 action movie featuring secret agent 007. More self-consciously suave and formal than predecessor Sean Connery, he immediately reestablished Bond as an uncomplicated and wooden fellow for the feel-good '70s. This film also marks a deviation from the more character-driven stories of the Connery years, a deliberate shift to plastic action (multiple chases, bravura stunts) that made the franchise more of a comic book or machine. If that's not depressing enough, there's even a good British director on board, Guy Hamilton (Force 10 from Navarone). The story finds Bond taking on an international drug dealer (Yaphet Kotto), and while that may be superficially relevant, it isn't exactly the same as fighting supervillains on the order of Goldfinger. --Tom Keogh

I had been a Roger Moore fan for a long time, having followed his television series THE SAINT and THE PERSUADERS and this was the first bond film i ever saw so it wasn't hard for me to accept moore as a man of action in the bond role.I couldn't compare his bond to the Sean Connery bond which i only saw years later on television.For me
alot of things clicked with this film:a mavelous soundtrack,suspense,a love story and great stuns.I always felt that LIVE AND LET DIE was the best bond film...perhaps because it was the first bond film i ever saw.

2nd bluray disc after purchase of a player. Again, minimal to nonexistent content inside the case.
The least you (producer of the disc) could do is add in the year the film first came out.
played well otherwise.

Version a l'Américaine,
Toujours plaisant de redécouvrir s'est films époque 1973. Le fait est que de revoir le film en haute définition est un délice pour les yeux, ainsi que la trame sonore en 5.1 DTS-HD ,MGM a fait un éxelent travail.
Merci Amazone

Piece of junk....
The only good thing about this shlocky (sp?), horrific, racist piece of (...)is the theme song by a certain former Beatle... poor Paul. Why couldn't you have done a good one?

Best Bond, Best Movie
Personally I think that Roger Moore not only filled Sean Connery's boots, but ran a mile in them. He didn't have the British accent of Sean, but he did have the acting and the... Read more

"Live and Let Die" is the first Bond dud -- and Roger Moore's lightweight debut as 007 makes it worse. Read more

Bond goes...uptown
Roger Moore debuted in this early 70's flick in which the threat is not some shadowy megalomaniac, but an insidious form of organized crime. Read more
