Three MI6 agents are killed. James Bond is summoned to investigate the strange murders. He travels all the way to Jamaica, where the gangster Mr B is trying to centralise the drug trade. Live and Let Die is the eighth film in the successful series about the secret agent 007. The face of James Bond is that of actor Roger Moore, after Sean Connery’s definitive departure from the saga with the last chapter.
In the 1970s, at the height of the Blaxploitation period, the Bond girl is the beautiful Gloria Hendry, whom we see first wearing a skimpy bikini, then running through the jungle wearing only a semi-transparent white tank top. The film also features the charming Jane Seymour.
