From Roger Moore With Love, an exclusive behind the scenes look at the charismatic actor who redefined the role of James Bond, will premiere at UK cinemas on 13th December 2024.

Live and Let Die (1973) a smash hit. Beyond Bond, the documentary reveals his life with his A-list friends including
Frank Sinatra,
Joan Collins,
Christopher Walken (Max Zorin in the 1985 James Bond film
