007 LIVE AND LET DIE - James Bond Revisited

For 45, Roger looked really young here. He didn't start to show his age until For Your Eyes Only.

A young Jane Seymour was one of the most attractive women to ever walk this planet.

[@drdarkeny]

Jane Seymour was (and still is) beautiful, and married to Richard Attenborough's son at that point (Moore discusses it in his book, but I seem to remember him mixing up Michael Attenborough, the son, with Naturalist DAVID Attenborough!), but Domino did seem too naive for words...and yeah, Connery's Bond never had to resort to trickery to get a woman in his bed.

[@johnrigs6540]

Lol yea it’s actually pretty ridiculous that they selected an actor 3 years older than Sean Connery to play Bond - but Roger Moore probably looked at least 10 years younger than his age - so most people never even realized that! Live And Let Die may not be Moore’s best,but I think it has a lot going for it - it has style, a smart script, and GREAT characters. Mr. Bigs organization was excellent - with each Henchman and soldier very much unique- which was very different than the interchangeable henchmen of Spectre. It also has an all time classic song,great music and plenty of memorable action sequences. Roger Moore didn’t quite hit his rhythm as Bond here just yet but he still brought his own effortless charm and elegance which, although very different from Connery, worked perfectly for his lighter version of the character. And that escape from Crocodile island was one of the coolest moments of the series!

For me Bond will always be Roger Moore because this was my first Bond movie . Moore was simply too suave and cool though it was his first outing. Moore's quips and oneliners seemed absolutely made to order. I was very surprised to learn later that Moore disliked gratuitous violence and tried many times to tone down the level. Guy Hamilton was a good choice to helm this spy adventure. This movie had interesting locations and wonderful stunts. Jane Seymour seemed to me the most beautiful woman. This movie still retains its freshness and fun.

[@chatterboxfilms8613]

We've just spent a couple of weeks re-cutting a trailer for Live and Let Die, and we were questioning ourselves wondering if people still loved the film as much as we do. This comment section has given us some solidarity! Great vid Joblo!

[@samfrito]

Live and Let Die was the first Bond film I ever saw in theater. At the time ABC aired all the Connery Bonds as Sunday night movies periodically so I was pretty excited to watch this film when it released. I was 8, so Moore's break of convention didn't hurt in the least. I still view this movie as a great start to the next era of Bond, but you are quite right, Moore took a few movies to become the star Connery was. On the chase and stunt work side, this is perhaps one of my favorite movies of the time. That side view mirror dart cannon was so brilliant and Yaphet is the MVP in this. His monologing is what villains should aspire to. "Thats a handsome watch, Mr Bond. May i see it?"

In that sense, the song indeed has come into something of its own beyond its initial link to the 007 franchise.

"A SECRET AGENT?? On WHO'S side?!?!?!"

[@garrick3727]

One of my favorite Bond films. Mostly because of: "Young" and in-shape Roger Moore, Jane Seymour, Geoffrey Holder as Baron Samedi and Clifton James as the Sheriff. I like the supernatural aspect of the film, how Solitaire predicts Bond is going to be her and Kananga's undoing, and how Samedi is killed but then at the very end we see he really is Baron Samedi and not just some henchman dressed as the Baron. Incidentally, I don't agree with the comment that Bond is sleazy in tricking Solitaire. The whole point is that she has already seen in the cards that she will be with Bond, and that matches up with how she feels. However, she holds back because she fears Kananga's wrath if she loses her powers. Bond, by "tricking" her is just helping her do what she wants to do. She figures out she was "tricked" pretty quickly and doesn't seem to mind. Also, saying that Jane Seymour looks too innocent is bad casting does not make too much sense, since I think the film-makers wanted someone who looked like they were sheltered. She has, after all, been a prisoner of Kananga since birth and no-one is allowed to "touch her" because the superstition is that she will lose her powers of prophecy. And, while it might make more sense if she were black given the circumstances, I am not sure people would like the white man saves black woman from black man narrative either. If they did cast a black actor to play James Bond, it would be interesting to remake this movie. What I mean is, don't just have one token black guy as Bond, have most of the cast be black. It might even help people accept the new actor. Why is Bond black? Well, he's investigating something where everyone involved is black, so if we sent white Bond he would stand out like Roger Moore in Harlem in 1973.

They weren't initially disappointed with Lazenby. On Her Majesties did relatively well for a newcomer having to follow Connery. Despite comparatively low sales, it still made quite a lot of money. Lazenby only did one Bond movie because he turned them down, not the other way around.

[@johnrigs6540]

NinjaMatt2201 Thats actually correct-he took spectacularly bad career advice from his agent who thought the series was finished!

[@johnepants]

Right. The sad part is, in watching OHMSS, Lazenby really seemed to grow into the role, and by the climax, it’s almost like a coming out party for James Bond. With that said, Moore did a great job as Bond and brought a different spin to the role that managed to keep it fresh for almost 2 decades before needing a new turn

@@supremelc3667 I agree. Lazenby was also one hell of a fighter.

[@NinjaMatt2201]

I recommend the documentary with Lazenby interviews. He actually had good reason to refuse to sign the 3 movie contract. The producers had demanded he live like Bond, womanizing and drinking heavily in public every night even when not filming. (The drinking and anger towards the producers might explain his difficult behavior on set.) He decided he couldn't continue to live like that, it would kill him. The one film made him rich, and he found he didn't like the fame, so he didn't have any reason to continue.

The literary character appeared in several Ian Fleming's novels. I liked Britt Ekland and wish they would have used the character in more films. The film was Roger's second film and he still looked the part. The filmmakers were allowing him to play the role more seriously and he was allowed to be tough. Christopher Lee was brilliant as Francisco Scaramanga who arguably was the best Bond villain ever. The idea that James Bond would be facing off against a man of equal skill, not for Queen and country, but because the assassin wants to kill him was brilliant. The ending of the film was a little disappointing Bond dispatching Scaramanga so easy and I could have done without J. W. Pepper's return. Still, I liked the film and feel it is the most underrated picture in the series.

Solitaire was not black in the novel.

[@tomchris60]

Correct. In the novel, Bond describes her as looking French.

I remember her being *Hatian* , to me that meant Black.

"The name "Solitaire" is given to her by the Haitians because of her apparent exclusion of men from her life. The only physical difference appears to be that Solitaire is stated to have blue-black hair; she also possesses pale skin reminiscent of the tropical planter class. " Haiti had once been a French colony and Solitaire was of French stock born in Haiti. Most likely she was of mixed heritage with heavy French bloodline. At the time of the story taking place she was most likely in exile from the Duvalier reign. Many where light skinned mulato which are no a small minority in Hati. Some would then flee to places like Louisiana, especially New Orleans after the rise of Duvalier. Sorry for the History lesson but does explain Solitaire background and part of the setting for the story.

Not parcel to the movie, but what is the music background that ends the video?

One of the best Bond films! :)

First James Bond film I ever saw.

2:42 "For one thing, Saltzman and Broccoli wanted the main Bond girl, Solitaire, to be black, as she was in the book." I am currently reading the book, and Solitaire is white. Her is Ian Fleming's description: "Her face was pale, with the pallor of white families that have lived long in the tropics. But it contained no trace of the usual exhaustion which the tropics impart to the skin and hair. The eyes were blue, alight and disdainful, but, as they gazed into [Bond's] with a touch of humour, he realized they contained some message for him personally. It quickly vanished as his own eyes answered. Her hair was blue-black and fell heavily to her shoulders. She had high cheekbones and a wide sensual mouth which held a hint of cruelty. Her jawline was delicate and finely cut. It showed decision and an iron will which were repeated in the straight, pointed nose. Part of the beauty of the face lay in its lack of compromise. It was a face born to command. The face of the daughter of a French Colonial slave-owner."

Still my favorite 007 movie.
