Roger Moore makes his first appearance as "Bond...James Bond" in 1973's Live and Let Die. Bond is dispatched to the States to stem the activities of Mr. Big (Yaphet Kotto), who plans to take over the Western Hemisphere by converting everyone into heroin addicts. The woman in the case is Solitaire (Jane Seymour in her movie debut), an enigmatic interpreter of tarot cards. The obligatory destructive-chase sequence occurs at the film's midpoint, with Bond being chased in a motorboat by Mr. Big's henchmen, slashing his way through the marshlands and smashing up a wedding party. Clifton James makes the first of several Bond appearances as redneck sheriff Pepper, while Geoffrey Holder is an enthusiastic secondary villain. The title song, written by Paul McCartney and Linda McCartney, provides the frosting on this 007 confection. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Was skeptical of Roger Moore at first, but he pulled it off. It's got the action and girls you expect from a Bond movie.

This is the best Bond movie yet! A great job done by Roger Moore, a wonderful job done by Yaphet Kotto, and a great theme done by Paul McCartney! This is a movie everyone will want to see, even if you aren't a James Bond fan!

Bond-now played by Roger Moore-is more clownish this time around, and the reduced budget really dates this film. Still, some decent action scenes (Such as the speedboat chase) and a great Bond girl in Jane Seymour. Great classic title song too.
