About this episode
On this episode of The James Bond A-Z Podcast hosts Tom Butler, Brendan Duffy, and Tom Wheatley take a deep dive into the making of 1973's 'Live And Let Die'. Sir Roger Moore makes his James Bond debut in this blaxploitation-tinged 007 adventure, and this episode covers how the film was brought to the screen. We explore how Roger landed the role of Bond, who the filmmakers responsible were, and who all the actors involved were found. We take a look at the development of the story from page to screen by writer Tom Manciewicz, and director Guy Hamilton. We dig into the location shooting across America and Jamaica, its Pinewood sets, and how the stunts were achieved. We also dig into the marketing of the movie, how it fared at the box office and its cinematic legacy. Stick around to the end to find out where we ranked it compared to the other Bond films we've covered so far.
