Though its not one of the very best Bond films, THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN is still an enjoyable thrill ride, thanks in part to its top notch cast.

She does, however, have the sense to call him out as a man who uses women as passing fancies a lengthy list that Goodnight doesnt want to join.

I love Roger Moore. I grew up on him as Bond. But in The Man with the Golden Gun, you can tell he hasnt settled into making Bond his own.
