“The Man with the Golden Gun” is a 1974 British spy film and the ninth instalment in the James Bond film series. The movie is based on the novel of the same name by Ian Fleming. The film was directed by Guy Hamilton and starred Roger Moore as James Bond, Christopher Lee as the title character, Francisco Scaramanga, and Britt Ekland as Bond’s love interest, Mary Goodnight.

In the movie, James Bond is assigned to locate and eliminate the world’s most deadly assassin, Francisco Scaramanga, who has a golden gun that he uses to kill his targets. Bond travels to Hong Kong, Thailand, and a small island in the South China Sea, where he must confront Scaramanga in a climactic duel.

The film was not as well received by critics as some of the previous Bond movies, but it was a commercial success, grossing over $97 million worldwide. The movie’s theme song, “The Man with the Golden Gun,” was performed by Lulu and became a hit single.
