Unusually for the Moore series there is some of the sadism of the original books, with Bond tormenting a weapons maker (Marne Maitland) with one of his own weapons and then later being quite vigorous when he "interrogates" Andrea. Moore just doesn't look comfortable being anything but a saint. He was already 46 when he assumed the role but he managed to stick around longer than any other 007.
