Synopsis

In a career that spans over seven decades, Roger Moore has been at the very heart of the show-business scene. We all know him as an actor who has starred in films that have made him famous the world over, but he's also a tremendous prankster, joker and raconteur – in fact, he's well known as one of the nicest guys in the business, and someone who has always been up for some fun.
In this fabulous collection of true stories from his stellar career, Roger lifts the lid on the movie business, from Hollywood to Pinewood. It features outrageous tales from his own life and career as well as those told to him by a host of stars and filmmakers, including Tony Curtis, Sean Connery, Michael Caine, David Niven, Frank Sinatra, Gregory Peck, John Mills, Peter Sellers, Michael Winner, Cubby Broccoli and many more. 
Packed with irresistible anecdotes of feisty leading ladies, fearless stuntmen, celebrity drinking buddies, eccentric directors, disastrous auditions, showbiz feuds and persuasive producers, this is a wonderful collection of memories from an extraordinary career. As well as tales of starting out as a jobbing actor in the theatre, filming at Pinewood, drinking with the Rat Pack and meeting royals, Last Man Standing gives a fascinating insight into the world behind the glitz and glamour of show business.
Wonderfully entertaining and laugh-out-loud funny, this selection of tales and personal photographs from the world of the movies is vintage Moore at his very best.
