Gold starring Roger Moore and Susannah York had me interested at the start, as it began with a disaster in the gold mine and several miners dying. However it began to slow down as they introduced the main characters in the movie, and other than Roger Moore none were overly familiar to me. The mine owner was played by Ray Milland, popular 20 years earlier (1950's). The major female actress, was played by Susannah York, who I never heard of or recall seeing in anything else. Her acting I thought was subpar, she wasn't all that bad to look at which helped her out. She was all looks to me. The problem was the movie began to remind me of a James Bond imitation as Roger Moore seduced, and married, Susannah York.
The middle dragged as the plot now turned to how Roger Moore was going to be framed for destroying the mine along with Rogers flurting/affair with Susannah York. I guess this was necessary or else the movie had no where else to go, since the only thing left was the mine and your not going to get a full length movie out of that.
If your a Roger Moore fan, you'll enjoy this movie, for everyone one else, hang on through a little time filler in the middle section and you will enjoy the action packed ending.
The script was typical for a 1970's film, disaster/action genre with lots of early explosions and a nail bitter ending. The acting was ok, no acadamy award winners from this one, but over all good enough to keep watching. The special effects were done well considering this was made in 1974 and the costumes/dress fit the movie. I thought the casting was good, everyone seemed to look/fit the role they had.
I like happy endings, and this movie did not disappoint me there. If you want to relax, enjoy a little bit of action, romance and vintage Roger Moore, this film will deliver. 9/22/13

Directed by Peter R. Hunt (On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) and Gulliver's Travels (1977)), this thriller was adapted from the 1970 novel Gold Mine by Rhodesian author Wilbur Smith. It's a film which goes out with all the best intentions, but it is rather dated now as it attempts to make Apartheid-era South Africa look like a glamourous place to visit, which back then, it certainly wasn't. Rod Slater (Roger Moore) is the General Manager of a gold mine in Sonderditch, South Africa. Slater is very concerned about the safety of his workers, even if the company who own the mine have been cutting corners with safety, but he is instructed by his boss Steyner (Bradford Dillman), to break through an underground dyke to where, Steyner believes, is a rich source of gold. While Steyner is out of the country, Slater begins an affair with Steyner's wife Terry (Susannah York). But Steyner knows about the affair, but he's using this as part of a plan to destroy the mine, masterminded by a London-based criminal syndicate. It's a film which does tie itself in knots at one point with it's complicated plot, and it showed a more rugged side to Moore, who had not long become James Bond at that time. But, it does have a suspenseful finale down the mine, which is worth it, but it's a long slog before the film comes to it, but it does have a good cast as well.
