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

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

I enjoyed this very much it’s light hearted and well meaning of course Sir Rodger has the gift of the gab so to speak. It’s his second book I have listened to in a week and I will search for another now . Pity he is no longer with us I had no idea he had such a social life and knew so many people in show business . Live and let die was my favourite James Bond film as a boy so reading this book was a delight well done Sir Roger JIMMY BOND would be proud

Excellent adventure Jimmy Bond
