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.

I want to see the film again now! I thought that this would be interesting, and it gives a real unglamorised peek into the sometimes tedious, sometimes potentially dangerous world of filming. I also enjoyed Roger’s other activities, the social life, friends, engagements. I highly recommend this.

Very entertaining and quite an eye opener

Absolutely brilliant piece of work, an insight into the making of a Bond movie and all the the ups, downs and partying of a mega franchise. Well done Roger.

Superb

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.

Greasy listen

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.

A very enjoyable listen from a true English gentleman.
From a time when people still had a sense of humour and political correctness hadn't been taken quite so seriously.
Roger's humour and wit shine though in this also his great love for his family.
It's a good map of how a Bond film gets put together.
Highly recommend.

A great listen for all fan's of Bond, Roger Moore and times before political correctness
