In this fascinating story that goes beyond the vampire aspect and looks into the culture of the Black community, Dr. Hess Green (Duane Jones) is stabbed by an ancient dagger and is infected with a vampire virus. Believing he is an African god, he deems that his wife (Mabel King) should also join him as a vampire.

Live and Let Die 1973 PG, 121 min. Genre: Action
Director: Guy Hamilton Cast: Roger Moore, Jane Seymour, Yaphet Kotto, Geoffrey Holder, Clifton James, Bernard Lee, Lois Maxwell, David Hedison, Julius Harris, Gloria Hendry, Tommy Lane, Madeline Smith, Robert Dix, Roy Stewart, Earl Jolly Brown
This is the eighth agent 007 film, but it is the first with Roger Moore in the starring role. In this installment, James Bond is on the trail of a Caribbean-based drug dealer. As with the previous seven 007 films, this one has plenty of gadgetry, beautiful women, and wild chases. It's not up to the standards of the others, though, except for the title song by Paul McCartney.
