London: Eon Productions, 1972. Shooting script for the 1973 film. With a manuscript ink annotation on the title page, noting copy No. 56.

Roger Moore's first turn as 007, and the eighth film in the franchise overall. Based on the 1954 novel by Ian Fleming, which sees Bond go up against a Caribbean dictator moonlighting as a Harlem drug lord, aided by a claw-handed henchman and a voodoo priest. One of the first Bond movies to explicitly address race, most notably featuring the first African American Bond girl with whom 007 is romantically involved, Rosie Carver, played by Gloria Hendry.

Filmed on location in New York, Jamaica, and Louisiana.
