I’m going to get Henry Kissinger!
It’s no surprise that Clifton James was invited back as Sheriff J.W. Pepper for a rare consecutive appearance after his memorable performance in Live And Let Die. Roger Moore’s easygoing attitude gives Pepper the perfect target to bounce off, even… Read More →

Regarding the car jump slide whistle sound…

Aren’t we a little overdressed, Goodnight?
