Roger Moore wrote a production diary during filming which was simply entitled "Roger Moore as James Bond 007: Live and Let Die". It was published as a paperback novel by Pan in 1973 and features a complete dossier of filming from the first to last day. It is accompanied by several pages of color stills, many taken by Moore's then-wife Luisa Mattioli. The book was never reissued and is today quite rare. In the book, Moore uses the same self-deprecating humor he has become infamous for and details numerous otherwise-unknown incidents, squabbles, milestones and production notes. See more »

I can't understand why some other people didn't like it. Actually this is the first Bond movie I've seen, it made a big impression on me and it still does. I found this movie being one of the most colorful Bond movies. There were few colorful villains, lots of action, some humor, and of course - Roger Moore who is my favorite James Bond. The story isn't typical for James Bond movies, it's more mystical this time, but I liked that. Of course nowadays when you watch this movie it may look cheesy in some scenes, but the action sequences where very exiting. Another reason why I liked this movie was the main theme song - Paul McCartney's Live and Let Die, which is yet my favorite James Bond theme.
