About this listen

To tie in with the release of his first James Bond film, Live and Let Die, Roger Moore agreed to keep a day-by-day diary throughout the film's production which was published just ahead of the premiere in July 1973. From the previous October, when he was unveiled as the new 007, through to his first scenes on location in New Orleans and his final shot in New York, Moore describes his whirlwind journey as cinema's most famous secret agent. Taking in the sights of Jamaica before returning to Pinewood Studios, Moore's razor wit and unique brand of humor is ever present. With tales from every location, including his encounters with his costars and key crew members, Moore offers the listener an unusually candid, amusing, and hugely insightful behind-the-scenes look into the world's most successful film franchise. Never before, and never since, has a 007 himself written such a book, and this new edition will introduce the next generation of Bond fans to Roger Moore's extraordinary legacy.

Roger Moore was the quintessential modest, self effacing, English gentleman, always cracking jokes at his own expense, such as his claim to have partially funded this movie by his nightly card betting losses to Harry Saltzman! 😝 This would have been a perfect audiobook if Sir Roger had narrated it himself, but ever the modest man, he never did so. 😢🙏Instead it is narrated well, and with enough of the Moore style, that you can imagine Roger (not Sir then) just putting his pen down and grabbing his dictaphone to narrate his written words. I'm going to enjoy listening to more from the charming raconteur.

Roger Moore's diary on filming his first Bond movie, Live & Let Die

While Matthew Lloyd Davis is not Roger Moore he still has that crisp tone that makes you forget it's not Roger himself reading it. The story of the making of Live and Let Die is a fascinating one and the wit on display is fantastic. Every Bond fan needs to experience this book, and anyone with an interest in the film industry will get a lot out of this too.

An interesting time capsule

Really enjoyed this, it's an interesting account of the making of possibly the best of all Roger Moore's films as James Bond. The only thing that I felt let it down a bit was the narrator, he did his best but listening to someone's personal thoughts works a lot better if it's that person's voice reading them, especially when it's someone who has an easily recognisable voice like Roger had.

Only thing missing is Roger.

If your a Bond fan like me you will love this story. Great insight to the movie making world and very funny if you like Roger Moors humour.

Enjoyable

This is a really lovely little diary from a really lovely man. It's impossible not to like Roger Moore, and his wit and character shine throughout this book, which will be enjoyed by any Bond aficionado, or anyone who likes back-stage accounts of movie making.

The narrator is particularly good, and really catches Moore's voice and style.

Good fun for Bond fans.

I loved this humble funny sweet and oh my goodness so of it’s time !! A period piece indeed

Dated but such fun

This is a collection of day to day moments and incidents in the filming of Live and Let Die. There isn't any spectacular insight or great narrative. Rather a series of anecdotes that are sometimes interesting, sometimes funny and sometimes dated.

Overall I found it an interesting read and there were enough funny stories and interesting tidbits to make it worthwhile. Don't go in expecting more than it is. The narration was good.

Does what it says on the tin.

A behind the scenes look at the stunts ,the parties and the complexities of making a 007 film . Filled with Roger Moore's trademark humour.

A must for all Bond fans.
