Live And Let Die (1973)

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.

Om Podcasten

Hosted by lifelong James Bond fans – film journalist Tom Butler, journalist Tom Wheatley, and improviser Brendan Duffy – The James Bond A-Z Podcast is an encyclopaedic introduction to the people behind the world’s greatest spy film franchise. Going from A-Z, each episode covers the key creatives and characters from every James Bond film from 1962’s 'Dr No' to 2021’s 'No Time To Die', talking about Ken Adam to Max Zorin, and everything in-between (and yes, that includes 'Never Say Never Again'). The show shines a light on every aspect of the filmmaking process answering many of the questions you always wanted to ask about the 007 films, and we are occasionally joined by guests who offer a unique perspective on the films.
