The phrase 'live and let live' was synonymous with the world-famous James Bond director. He literally kept it simple and interesting.

For 51 years, he spun magic behind the lens. At 93, the legend leaves behind a legacy of five decades in the glitzy and glamour industry.

The director’s demise has left a huge void in the film fraternity. Roger Moore took to Twitter to pay tribute to the legendary director. 

 

Incredibly, incredibly saddened to hear the wonderful director Guy Hamilton has gone to the great cutting room in the sky. 2016 is horrid.
