Engrossing if offbeat teaming. The comedy, carefully considered and engineered, is consistent, often delightfully knockabout and always successful.

He's a hard-time fast-tracker who's been where it's mean. A grizzly with a sense of humor. A wandering rebel, living off the land by his wits and his fists. Now he's taking on his biggest run. A challenge no one ever survived.

That's why he has to do it. UA CINEMA 1 COSTA MESA 540 0594 ORANGE DRIVE-IN 2 ORANGE 714558 7022 'LIVE AND LET DIE' A United Artists release. Producers Albert R. Broccoli, Harry Saltiman. Director Guv Hamilton.

Roger Moore makes a handsome and smoothly likable successor to Sean Connery as James Bond. (G ge Lazenby was a pinch hitter and "Casino Royale" was an antic aberration by other hands.) There have been some changes in 007 Mark II, but then again the movie versions have increasingly departed from the tone of Ian Fleming's novels. The books themselves grew ever more extravagant after the elegant but disciplined make-believe of ''Casino Royale," the first and probably the best of the stories. The movies have progressed to burlesque, lavish spoofs dominated not" by characters or dialog but by extraordinary chases, special effects, gadgetry and mind-blowing ways to commit mayhem. Saintly Type Moore remains more saintly than a bonding of rough and smooth.

He lacks that earthy Scots burr which made Connery 's Bond an earnest paid professional for whom the icy vodka, the ringed cigarets, the Bent-ley and the odd wench were brief consolation prizes in a hard life. Moore is a hedonist, suave and sophisticated, for whom duty is a bothersome interruption. Even in duty, he is hardly ruffled, scared, tired or in pain. I'm not fretting; that's just the way things are. The strength of "Live and Let Die," as of all the later Bond flicks, is precisely its hang the expense scale, its operating conviction that more is more.

The Bonds stand virtually alone as unabashed popular entertainments, fast, gaudy and outrageously foolish. Guy Hamilton was the pace-conscious director this time. Sense the Strain Here Bond flies like a bat, skips to safety on the backs of menacing crocodiles, literally blows a villain to bits and conducts an insane speedboat chase through the Louisiana SHOW STARTS AT DUSK SHOW STARTS AT DUSK 4S-3 55 6:05 8 15- 10 25 30 3 00 5 30 8 00 10 30 tRISAT Midn.ght Show J9 FRISAT Midmshi Shows mtm ALSO IN ORANGE COUNTY: EDWARDS CINEMA, COSTA MESA, 714546 3102 script uses only the barest bones of Fleming's story about evil doings which' link Harlem with a mysterious Caribbean island. The level of invention is high, but now and again you do sense the strain of always having to try harder because you're No. 1.

If one menacing viper is good, three or a coffinful are not inevitably better. But the action never slumps, and the series has never seemed more like a live cartoon. Yaphet Kotto and dancer Geoffrey Holder are the chief villains, and they seem to be too amused by it all to make anybody lose sleep. Jane Seymour is the card-telling lady of the piece, Solitaire, and she is quite the most demure and ladylike of all the Bond heroines, sweetly beautiful but a far cry from the animal excitement of Ursula Andress striding from the foam like Aphrodite with a dagger. Standard Cameos Bernard Lee and Lois Maxwell make their stan-dar cameo visits as and Miss Moneypenny.

Clifton James has some broad scenes as an apoplectic sheriff. Gloria Hendry is a double agent who doesn't fool Bond for more than a night and Julius W. Harris is very good as a smiling baddie with a steel hand. David Hedison is the affable CIA man, Felix Leiter. George Martin did the score, which reprises Monty Norman's famous Bond theme.

The Paul McCartneys wrote the successful title song. The stunts are credited to Bob Simmons, Jerry Comeaux, Ross Kan-anga, Bill Bennot, Eddie Smith and Joie Chitwood, and they all deserve it, not least for a spectacular hangar sequence. What do you say when a boy halfyovrage tells you 4 mm he loves you? For Bond movie freaks, is absolutely the mix- it bayous and across several front yards. There seem to be dozens of satisfactorily metal-crumpling collisions and endless fiery explosions. The Tom Mankiewicz 15052 Ventura Bl.
