DECADE II

The 1970s saw the rise of Roger Moores Bond. He brought different, mischievous facets and humour to the character, cheering up a somewhat dire decade.

A man for the times, he overcame filmic adversaries with elegant aplomb. While the business of making movies remained as serious as whisky distilling, he reminded us that life is about enjoyment of the finer, better still the finest, of all that it offers.

The packaging design includes sketches and storyboards fromThe Spy Who Loved Me(1977), Stromborgs Atlantis marine research lab, and various space station concepts fromMoonraker(1979).
