“Fame at last! Me to be the bunny for liberated ladies! Needless to say, I was not about to pose in the altogether!”
Words can’t possibly describe how much I enjoyed this
delightful little tome, but I will give it a shot! The Late, great, Roger Moore
is a skilled raconteur and his depiction of life on a film set is far from
glamourous (most of the time) with the odd bit of name-dropping glitz.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched Live and Let Die— at a guess, I’d say
umpteen times. A massive James Bond fan, despite his hideous treatment of women
(I don’t know I can’t understand it – I think I want to be him rather than bed
him), Roger Moore remains one of my favourite Bonds. His amazing ability to
deliver with a twinkle in his eye and a smirk carries forth within his writing
also. Here we have a daily rundown of all the things that occurred on set –
from breaking teeth to crocodile infested waters, it’s rather fun and one can
only imagine the high cost of insurance such adventures might warrant.
There is a disclaimer at the beginning of the book about it
being written in another time where social norms differed. That kind of adds to
its charm in that it is so retro. Boobs, babes, cigars and the odd bit of
offensive language aside, this one was a delight.
