Live and Let Die

Roger Moore makes his 007 debut, replacing Sean Connery as Britain's most celebrated secret agent. In the eighth instalment of the franchise, Bond is tasked with cracking a voodoo-controlled drug smuggling racket in the Caribbean and sets about the task with his customary verve, finding time for speedboat chases and crocodile encounters along the way. Admirable support is offered by Clifton James as an irate Southern Sheriff and Jane Seymour as tarot expert Solitaire, but they face a formidable foe in drugs baron Kananga (Yaphet Kotto).
