James Bond: Live and Let Die
1973 Roger Moore
"Live and Let Die" is the eighth in the successful series of James Bond films based on the novels of Ian Fleming, produced by Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman. The film marks the debut of Roger Moore in the role of Fleming's indestructible Agent 007, battling against the malevolent and mysterious black ruler, Dr. Kananga, played by Yaphet Kotto, who plans to dominate the western world with an onslaught of Voodoo and hard drug addiction. He is assisted in his use of the occult by a stunningly beautiful seer named Solitaire, who is portrayed with sensuous innocence by newcomer Jane Seymour.
Guy Hamilton, who directed the third Bond film, "Goldfinger," and who put so much of the style and sparkle into the recent "Diamonds Are Forever," is at the helm of "Live and Let Die," released by United Artists, an entertainment service of Transamerica Corporation. The screenplay is by Tom Mankiewicz, who co-authored "Diamonds Are Forever."
Producers Broccoli and Saltzman were determined to have an Englishman for the role, and

London-born and educated Roger Moore struck them as the ideal choice.
The selection of British film and television star Roger Moore to portray James Bond in "Live and Let Die," ended months of speculation, tests and conferences concerning 'the star of the latest Ian Fleming screen thriller. Moore, whose suave, sophisticated style and physically impressive manner conforms to author Fleming's concept of British Agent 007, made entertainment history by starring in five, top-rated international television series: "The Saint," "The Persuaders," "Ivanhoe," "The Alaskans" and "Maverick." He also appeared in a number of films, among them "The Last Time I Saw Paris" and "Rachel Cade."
James Bond has a spectacular new leading lady. She is Jane Seymour, a 22-year-old raven-haired British beauty who plays the coveted role of Solitaire. Jane, a former ballet-dancer-turned-actress lives up to author Ian Fleming's description of Solitaire as "one of' the most beautiful women Bond had ever seen." Solitaire also is one of Bond's most unusual leading ladies. She possesses remarkable telepathic powers which are used by Bond's dangerous enemy in a criminal plot to rule the world.
