Roger Moore`s first tour of duty as James Bond sees him up against the dark powers of voodoo in the bulky shape of Yaphet Kotto, while the curvaceous Jane Seymour plays his love interest. There are some splendid action set pieces, notably a speedboat leap that set a new world record, as well as the usual array of hi-tech gadgetry and colourful locations. May be edited for language and violence.

Director: Guy Hamilton
Cast: Roger Moore, Jane Seymour, Yaphet Kotto, Julius W Harris, Gloria Hendry, Madeline Smith, David Hedison, Roy Stewart, Clifton James, Earl Jolly Brown, Bernard Lee, Lois Maxwell.
