Hamilton directed Sean Connery in "Goldfinger" and "Diamonds
are Forever" and Roger Moore in "Live and Let Die" and "The Man
with the Golden Gun".
"Incredibly, incredibly saddened to hear the wonderful director
Guy Hamilton has gone to the great cutting room in the sky,"
Moore wrote on Twitter.
Hamilton also worked with Michael Caine in the Harry Palmer spy
thriller "Funeral in Berlin".
He also directed two Agatha Christie adaptations: "The Mirror
Crack’d" with Angela Lansbury as Miss Marple and "Evil Under the
Sun" with Peter Ustinov as Poirot.
He went to school in England but his family lived in France and
he started his career in French cinema in the 1930s.
He was British director Carol Reed's assistant for five years,
but moved to become a director after World War Two.
