Stam Fine Reviews looks at Roger Moore's debut James Bond adventure from 1973, Live and Let Die, based loosely on Ian Fleming's novel. Roger Moore cuts a very different figure from Sean Connery and quickly makes the role his own. Also stars Yaphet Kotto and Jane Seymour. It features the classic song by Paul McCartney and Wings, though unfortunately the rendition featured in this video was performed by the Stam Fine Showband.

My first memory of Roger Moore when I was a kid was watching repeats of The Saint. Then he did The Persuaders with Tony Curtis. I loved him in both those series. Then I got taken to see Live and Let Die at the pictures - I didn't have a clue who James Bond was, or what he was supposed to be doing. All I knew, or cared about, was this was Roger Moore - and that was enough for me.

The first Bond movies for Sean, George (his only), Timothy, Pierce, & Daniel were all relatively good (some great) . Roger’s better work was more spread out in later films, with maybe one too many overall. Although Live & Let Die _did_ give us Jane Seymour, Paul McCartney’s classic, & Geoffrey Holder’s laugh (& those 7-Up commercials).

Even though I criticise the less epic feel of the early 70's Bonds, this one does manage to make it feel like Bond isn't wasted. It generally holds up quite well.

I grew up watching repeats of Sir Roger Moore as 'The Saint'. My mother was an avid fan. So the release of this film was a much anticipated event. I had previously seen 'Diamonds Are Forever' (my first ever Bond film) but aside from Connery decking an astronaut and stealing a moon buggy the rest of the film didn't register a great deal with me. 'Live And Let Die' however had me enthralled and still does. Who else could dismiss a voodoo threat with such panache by stating, " It's just a hat darling, belonging to a small headed man of limited means who lost a fight to a chicken!". Sir Roger = Pure Class!

Not too many actors are associated with more than one role like Moore was. There are also a lot of people in Europe who also remember him from The Persuaders since that one season was shown again and again over the decades.

There was obviously a need to update and revise Fleming's novel because of its flagrant racism, but things were even more complicated because the film Dr. No had already killed two significant supporting characters from the book Live and Let Die: Strangways and Quarrel. But that still doesn't explain why we had to wait until For Your Eyes Only and Licence to Kill to see two of the book's major set pieces adapted to film. Still, I enjoy how the film echoes Connery's first Bond film, and Yaphet Kotto is a great villain.

Of all the Bond Films, this is the one I remember seeing at the Theatre when I was a young kid the most. I think the action mixed with the supernatural element really affected me and left a lasting impression. I might need to give this a re-watch. It will be interesting to see if I still actually like it through the lens of a jaded oldie, as versus that of a young wide eyed kid.

I am not sure if I would describe Peter Hunt's direction as "tight. It is definitely debatable lol. Most of OHMSS was made in the editing room with voiceovers and stuff, and Hunt really struggles with rythm and narrative. I think Guy Hamilton is a much better director. He knows how to create memorable characters and iconic scenes.

Guy Hamilton really only excelled with one film. Diamonds was a farce but it was fun, Live and Let Die was a middling effort, and The Man With The Golden Gun was just sloppy. Also, I think the best of OHMSS puts most of this series to shame.

I loved Roger Moore as a kid. He did well with the sophistication and the seduction of JB even f there was a bit too much snootiness in his portrayal. But he was never remotely believable in the action scenes. He ran like a girl and probably couldn't punch through a paper bag. Sean Connery, by contast, once pistol whipped a real-life gangster who confronted him on a movie set. Moore would have fainted.
