Broccoli and Saltzman tried to convince Sean Connery to return as James Bond, but he declined. [5] At the same time, United Artists considered Steve McQueen and Paul Newman for the role. Hamilton also recommended Burt Reynolds after watching him on television. [10] Broccoli subsequently approached Reynolds for the role, but Reynolds felt Bond should be played by a British actor and turned the offer down. [11] Among the actors to test for the part of Bond were Julian Glover (who would portray Aristotle Kristatos in For Your Eyes Only (1981)), John Gavin, Jeremy Brett, Simon Oates, John Ronane, and William Gaunt. The main frontrunner for the role was Michael Billington. Broccoli met with Anthony Hopkins about playing the role, but Hopkins did not think that he was right for the part. [12]
Upton, John (August 1987). "The James Bond Books of Ian Fleming". The Book and Magazine Collector. London: Diamond Publishing Group (41). Immense riches were earned with the lives of millions by the slave traders and owners. The victims were treated as property, as chattel. And from there it’s only a small step to treat humans as cattle. These things do not happen isolated from everything else, they resonate with each other, reverberate to and fro in our lives. And the statues that are toppling these days, the real statues and the imaginary ones, fall because they glorify a deeply inhumane, amoral injustice. Nolasco, Stephanie (27 July 2022).

The Life of Ian Fleming: Creator of James Bond. London: Pan Books. OCLC 60318176. p36. Interesting spelling of ‘Lootenant’. Maybe Fleming was just phonetically spelling out the American pronunciation of it? Or a little aside joke to his Royal Navy buddies that might be reading the book?

Three MI6 agents are killed under mysterious circumstances within 24 hours in the United Nations headquarters in New York City, in New Orleans, and the small Caribbean nation of San Monique, while monitoring the operations of the island's dictator, Dr. Kananga. James Bond, Agent 007, is sent to New York to investigate. Kananga is also in New York, visiting the United Nations. After Bond arrives, his driver is shot dead by Whisper, one of Kananga's men, while taking Bond to Felix Leiter of the CIA. Bond is nearly killed in the ensuing car crash. It’s funny when you reread a book, especially one that you read years (decades ago), even more when it was written in the 1950’s, become part of popular culture and see it with modern eyes.

Although Fleming provided no dates within his novels, two writers have identified different timelines based on events and situations within the novel series as a whole. John Griswold and Henry Chancellor—both of whom have written books on behalf of Ian Fleming Publications—put the events of Live and Let Die in 1952; Griswold is more precise, and considers the story to have taken place in January and February that year.
