It was first published in the UK by Jonathan Cape on 5 April 1954. The story is set in London, the United States, and Jamaica. Fleming wrote the novel at his Goldeneye estate in Jamaica before his first book, "Casino Royale," was published. Much of the novel's background was drawn from Fleming's travels in the US and his knowledge of Jamaica. The 1973 film "Live and Let Die" is a spy thriller and the eighth film in the James Bond series produced by Eon Productions. It marked the debut of Roger Moore as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond. Directed by Guy Hamilton and produced by Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman, the film's script was written by Tom Mankiewicz. Although the producers approached Sean Connery to return after "Diamonds Are Forever" (1971), he declined, leading to a search for a new Bond actor, which resulted in Moore being cast. Sir Roger George Moore KBE (14 October 1927 – 23 May 2017) was an English actor renowned for his role as the fictional secret agent James Bond. He was the third actor to portray Bond in the Eon Productions/MGM Studios film series, starring in seven feature films from 1973 to 1985. Moore's portrayal of Bond in "Live and Let Die" to "A View to a Kill" is notable for being the most appearances of any actor in the Eon-produced entries of the series. Leslie Bricusse OBE (29 January 1931 – 19 October 2021) was a celebrated British composer, lyricist, and playwright known for his work on theatre musicals and film theme music. Some of his most notable contributions include writing the music and lyrics for films such as Doctor Dolittle, Goodbye, Mr. Chips, Scrooge, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, and Tom and Jerry: The Movie. He also co-wrote the iconic James Bond film songs "Goldfinger" and "You Only Live Twice". Additionally, Bricusse co-wrote "Can You Read My Mind? (Love Theme from Superman)" with John Williams for Superman and "Le Jazz Hot!" with Henry Mancini for Victor/Victoria. Mervyn Ian Guy Hamilton, DSC (16 September 1922 – 20 April 2016) was an English film director. He directed 22 films from the 1950s to the 1980s, including four James Bond films. Gibert A2a (i.i.). .
