On November 12th 2001 IWP - International West Pictures and CFB - Commerz Fonds Beteiligungsgesellschaft invited Roger Moore to Cologne to celebrate the success of the final cut of "Boat Trip", one of the first IWP-productions. This film was shot in May and June -mainly in Cologne (see section "Productions").
Roger Moore and both IWP-CEOs Siegfried Ley and Gerhard Schmidt celebrated with around 50 people in the Cologne Wasserturm Hotel.
"It is nice to be back" said Roger. By the way - the shooting of "Boat Trip" was not his first stay in Cologne. In former times, "007" served as Press Officer at the Cologne-station of the Royal Army of England.
