From Roger Moore with Love

Documentary charting the life and screen success of Roger Moore using a lot of unseen footage taken by Moore himself, at home and on set. Rather like the recent excellent documentary 'The Life and Deaths of Christopher Lee' it also uses an accomplished actor - here Steve Coogan - doing a near perfect impression of Moore narrating the story and this works really well.

Whilst it clearly took him quite a while to hit success with The Saint and James Bond, he very obviously enjoyed life and was deeply loved by family and his many friends. He remained self deprecating throughout his life and also very blatantly ensured that he and everyone near to him had a comfortable existence. He may have had a little difficulty with his various romantic entanglements and wives - in fact he seemed pretty much incapable of nailing that until the end, selecting women as his partners that didn't seem to fit his persona, but hey ho. My only disappointment was how little is mentioned of the 50+ movies he made other than Bond. You can't have everything I guess and most of them were perhaps a bit meh, but a mention of his excellent turn in 'The Man Who Haunted Himself' which he was rightly proud of, is a serious omission.
