Live And Let Die (1973)
This is an original U.S. 3-sheet poster for the 1973 release of Live and Let Die, Roger Moore’s explosive debut as James Bond. Designed by legendary artist Robert McGinnis, this vibrant and action-packed poster brings together the film’s iconic tarot imagery, voodoo mysticism, fiery explosions, and high-speed boat chases—all surrounding Moore’s suave, gun-ready Bond.
Three-sheets are among the most dramatic formats for display, and this one delivers high-impact scale with true ’70s flair. Featuring Jane Seymour as Solitaire and an ensemble of pulp-style artwork, this piece is not only a celebration of Moore’s first outing as 007 but a fantastic example of bold, collectible Bond poster art.

Cultural Significance and Cinematic Impact
Live and Let Die (1973) marked a major transition in the Bond franchise: it introduced Roger Moore, stepping into the tuxedo after Sean Connery’s era-defining run. Moore brought a lighter, more debonair charm to the role—forever shifting Bond’s tone from hard-edged spy thriller into smooth, stylized adventure.
The film reflected the cultural moment of the early ’70s, leaning into the popularity of blaxploitation cinema, supernatural motifs, and funk-infused aesthetics. The villainous Kananga/Mr. Big (played by Yaphet Kotto) and the mystic Solitaire (Jane Seymour) added a fresh mystique to the series.
Most memorable, perhaps, was the soundtrack: Live and Let Die featured Paul McCartney and Wings’ explosive title track, which remains one of the most celebrated Bond themes of all time.
The film’s dynamic energy, unusual narrative elements, and inventive action sequences—most notably the legendary boat chase through the Louisiana bayou—solidified Moore as a worthy successor and opened a new chapter in Bond mythology.
This original 3-sheet captures that tonal shift in cinematic style, with McGinnis’s artwork distilling the glamour, danger, and decadence of the era into one unforgettable image.
