Live And Let Die (1973)
An original 1973 United Artists Black and White Publicity Still, unframed, with the original newspaper press snipe on the reverse.
Roger Moore as James Bond aims his gun straight down the lens. The snipe on the back calls it a "villain's-eye view of the new film James Bond", announcing his 007 debut at the St James next week.
By his own admission, Roger Moore was no lover of guns and could rarely fire one without blinking, which makes this steady aim all the more of a performance. Yaphet Kotto gave him a villain with two faces, playing both the Caribbean dictator Dr Kananga and his Harlem alter ego Mr Big, a disguise peeled away in one of the film's most memorable reveals. Moore's lighter, wittier Bond was a deliberate break from Connery, and the box office soon proved the gamble right.
