The debut of the most prolific James Bond, Roger Moore.
With Blofeld seemingly indisposed in the credit sequence, Moore's Bond is completely free of plotlines from the previous films (despite them not being direct sequels).
It centres around a plan by a Harlem drug lord to distribute two tons of heroin free of charge to put his rivals out of business. It seems a bit of a change from other Bond films, but the revelation of the drug lord as being a corrupt Caribbean dictator sees Bond investigate the case.
A film features a boat chase, with several speed boats involved in different capacities. A truly great sequence during the climax sees several instances of the boats flying over land, through a wedding and even into some lucky person's pool during a party.
Gloria Hendry plays the first African-American Bond girl (Rosie Carver) to be romantically linked with 007.
Paul McCartney and Wings are responsible for the theme, which is one of the best.
