Live and Let Die...

A new Bond for a new era. When Sean Connery left the series after Diamonds are Forever,
producers Albert R Broccoli "Cubby" and Harry Saltzman launched an intensive search for
another actor who could embody 007`s inimitable charm, sly humour and lethal cunning.
After months of casting calls and screen tests, they selected an actor who had already been
described "An ideal Bond " by no means less than Sean Connery himself : ROGER MOORE, 1st of many. In the film, a Harlem drug lord known as Mr. Big plans to distribute two tons of heroin free to put rival drug barons out of business. Mr. Big, however, is revealed to be the disguised alter ego of Dr. Kananga, James Bond is investigating the death of three British agents, leading him to Kananga, where he is soon trapped in a world of gangsters and voodoo as he fights to put a stop to the drug baron's scheme.
