<P> Madeline Smith, who played Miss Caruso, sharing Bond's bed in the film's opening, was recommended for the part by Roger Moore after he had appeared with her on TV . Smith said that Moore was extremely polite to work with, but she felt very uncomfortable being clad in only blue bikini panties while Moore's wife was on set overseeing the scene . </P> <P> This was the only Bond film until 2006 not to feature' Q', played at this stage by Desmond Llewelyn . He was then appearing in the TV series Follyfoot, but was written out of three episodes to appear in the film . By then, Saltzman and Broccoli decided not to include the character, feeling that "too much was being made of the films' gadgets", and decided to downplay this aspect of the series, much to Llewelyn's annoyance . </P> <P> Principal photography began in October 1972, in Louisiana . For a while only the second unit was shot after Moore was diagnosed with kidney stones . In November production moved to Jamaica, which doubled for the fictional San Monique . In December, production was divided between interiors in Pinewood Studios and location shooting in Harlem . The producers were reportedly required to pay protection money to a local Harlem gang to ensure the crew's safety . When the cash ran out, they were "encouraged" to leave . Some exteriors were in fact shot in Manhattan's Upper East Side as a result of the difficulties of using real Harlem locations . </P> <P> Ross Kananga suggested the stunt of Bond jumping on crocodiles, and was enlisted by the producers to perform it . The scene took five takes to be completed, including one in which the last crocodile snapped at Kananga's heel, tearing his trousers . The production also had trouble with snakes . The script supervisor was so afraid that she refused to be on set with them; an actor fainted while filming a scene where he is killed by a snake; Jane Seymour became terrified as a reptile got closer, and Geoffrey Holder only agreed to fall into the snake - filled casket because Princess Alexandra was visiting the set . </P>
