When Ian Fleming
died in August 1964 there remained an unpublished manuscript, which
was examined and thought to be exceptionally weak. Before he died,
Fleming had raised concerns about the quality of what he had written.
The manuscript was edited by Kingsley Amis before being published
as The Man With The Golden Gun. Amis'
theory was that a substantial portion of the book had been removed
by the author, rendering the character of Scaramanga, the villian,
to be little more than an outline.
The film starred
Roger Moore and beyond featuring an assassin called Scaramanga had
nothing to do with the book.
