    Roger Moore was a fun Bond and never took himself too seriously. RIP Sir Roger.

    Aw gee, The Saint is gone...I always liked him as Simon Templar (with that Volvo P1800). Always seemed like a truly nice guy who appreciated his good fortune.

    Accumulator - and I thought I was the only mega Simon Templar/Saint fan left! Somewhere I still have the complete collection of Saint paperbacks. Leslie Charteris was definitely DA MAN, and Roger Moore knocked the part out of the park. Always loved P1800`s and the ES`s after that.

    Although he was not my favorite Bond, he had a lot of class and a good human being.

    Yeah, some of his humanitarian efforts were really something, he sure didn`t have to do that stuff.

    I`ll readily admit that he and I didn`t see eye-to-eye on James Bond, but I see it all through the lens of the original books in their historical context (Fleming wasn`t joking around when he wrote them, even if such stuff seems cartoonish now), whereas Moore saw 007 from the viewpoint of the times in which they (i.e., his Bond flicks) were being filmed.

    I thought the Bond movies changed because Moore was not the physical type and not because the period wanted campy movies with characters like Jaws, the sheriff, etc. It was just how the stories were written. It definitely took on the tone of the original Casino Royale at times.

    Re: R.I.P. Roger Moore

    Bunky- I`d say it was a matter of how the *screenplays* were written. E.g., Live and Let Die isn`t a comedic novel by any means and Fleming would`ve pitched a fit over that film even though he was OK with, say...Dr. No. But yeah, I agree completely that the era wanted that kind of light-hearted stuff and, sigh...that sure helped keep the franchise alive. Any hey, it`s not like I can`t enjoy the sillier films, lost count of how many times I`ve seen L&LD.
