News Summary

• "Live and Let Die" is the eighth Bond film and the first starring Roger Moore as agent 007.
• Replacing original Bond Sean Connery was a precarious endeavor for the producers Albert Broccoli and Harry Saltzman.
• Moore actually has more in common with George Lazenby than Connery.
• His Bond is softer and sillier than the original, an approach Moore would double down on in later films — often to the chagrin of Bond purists.
• The first Bond film since the first two to feature a pre-credits teaser focusing on the villains rather than Bond himself.
