THis is a little known gem that has it all, great acting, great plot, great location setting and never a dull moment. Bradford Dillman is well cast as the chilly manipulator who tries to orchestrate a gold mine disaster in the hope that the ensuing stock market confusion will translate into riches for him and his offshore based investor cronies. John Gielgund's short stint is competent as ever. I am not a fan of Roger Moore's usual over acting but he delivers a credible performance here and then of course there is Susannah York, lovely to watch as ever - the attraction between the two also works well. All of this together with Peter Hunt's excellent direction, translate into a great and very entertaining action thriller. Although not platinum material, it is more than solid gold. People familiar with SA will recognize the Kyalami Ranch Hotel near the race track in one of the scenes.

Go underground, way underground in this outstanding adventure romance film from director Peter Hunt. Roger Moore gives one of his best performances in a well defined character. Moore makes this film work. Elmer Bernstein's score is dynamic and well suited to the characters and action that unfolds. GOLD rocks!

GOLD is an oustanding film directed by Peter Hunt made shortly after his stint as an editor and director from the James Bond series where he made his lasting and distinctive mark. It is rich with characters, plot and raw energy and emotion. This film contains one of Roger Moore's best performances. Moore is very natural and believable in his role. Elmer Bernstein's inspired score goes above and beyond. The entire cast is first rate. On the down side the DVD print of this very good character based adventure is less than good and that is being kind. This is an outstanding film just the same. The plot to flood a huge gold mine in South Africa to increase the value of othere gold reserves is well done.

I loved Roger Moore in the Saint and the Persauders.
He was good as Bond. I liked most of the movies he's
made but this isn't one. It had Ray Milland that I
like and Braford Dillman so I figured it was good.
The production is cheap and the quality isn't good
so that made it hard to watch. It's more of a love
story than a ripoff movie. I found it hard to watch.
Moore is great as always you can tell he put his effort
into it but it didn't work. Maybe better quality dvd
would help cause it wasn't boring. I can't recommend.
buy the Persauders tv series with Tony Curtis! GREAT!

Gold is perhaps one of the more missed movies by Roger Moore. It is a well made movie and Roger Moore shines as a Mining engineer that give a damn about his men. Few actors could have carried off the role but the actor who played the Saint and James Bond shows why he got both roles. It is a must see for any Roger Moore fan and for anyone liking a well made movie.I was glad that Amazon had this movie.

One of Moore's best non-Bond films. Realistic, great underground, in-the-mine effects. I would have enjoyed seeing it in widescreen, but apparently it isn't available.

This movie by Roger Moore has it all. It is
one of those movies you will stay with from
start to finish. Great action by Royer Moore.
