Moore made his second Bond, "The Man with the Golden Gun" (1974), which was a hit though less successful than "Live and Let Die". It featured Christopher Lee as the main antagonist. Also appearing are Britt Ekland, Herve Villechaize, and Maud Adams. He then made a comedy "That Lucky Touch" (1975) which was a box office disaster. He made an Italian-shot action film "Street People" (1976), then went back to
Roger Moore Ford and Eleanor Parker as Lawrence's brother Cyril. That same year, he played a supporting role in the swashbuckler "The King's Thief" starring Ann Blyth, Edmund Purdom, David Niven and George Sanders. In the 1956 film "Diane", Moore was billed third again, this time under Lana Turner and Pedro Armendariz, in a 16th-century period piece set in France with Moore playing Prince Henri, the future king. Moore was released from his MGM contract after two years following the film's critical and commercial failure. In his own words, "At MGM, RGM [Roger George Moore] was NBG [no bloody good]."
