Rent From Roger Moore with Love (2024)

Interesting Documentary But Limited - From Roger Moore with Love review by GI

If you watch this documentary expecting a full analytical look at this lovable actor's films you'll be disappointed. It's more of a run through his private life centred on his relationships and, of course, his casting as James Bond. Narrated by Steve Coogan, doing a Moore impression, this has some interesting moments and adds to the already great esteem with which Moore is held by fans. It does show how he constructed an image that bled from his roles into his real life. There's the usual array of talking head interviews from friends and colleagues including Pierce Brosnan, Joan Collins and Christopher Walken. Sadly though there's no real look at his roles in films beyond his early TV and 007 ones which is a shame because Moore made some other great films some of which were very good performances from him, for example The Man Who Haunted Himself (1970). That's a shame but otherwise a film that captures Moore's great personality and is worth watching.
