The least entertaining of biography showns about Moore. A 30-minute collage of movie clips and general information about the actor's work - sometimes incorrect. The definite highlight of the show is an interview given by Roger Moore presumably on a totally different occasion, yet very interesting and informative. The show was released on video in USA on Jan 12, 1997.
