Live and Let Die

Character mistake: When Rosie points the gun at Quarrel on his boat, she says she might have shot him. He says she might even have killed him if she had taken off the safety catch. Like most revolvers, the Model 19 .357 Magnum has no safety.

Character mistake: When Rosie sticks her revolver in Bond's room and Bond flips her onto the bed, Bond incorrectly identifies the gun as a Smith and Wesson .38 which would make it a model 10 or 15. It was actually a Model 19 .357 Magnum.

James Bond: I'm surprised they didn't spot you, too. There's a most remarkable girl back there with a deck of cards.
Harold Strutter: I saw those cards on the way up. Spades, James, every one. You were nailed the minute you left 74.

Trivia: Desmond Llewellyn, who played "Q", only failed to make an appearance in two of the first 19 Bond movies. He wasn't in "Dr. No" (Major Boothroyd is introduced, however, played by Peter Burton), and this film because of the stupid belief by the producers that Bond fans wanted fewer gadgets.

Chosen answer: One assumes that the card that 'foretold' that Rosie was a double-agent was either sent by Felix Lighter of the FBI/CIA or by Solitaire herself. But, more than likely, it was Bond's faithful sidekick Quarrel, Jr. (the fisherman/boat captain on San Monique).

Answer: This is never definitively answered in the film itself, so it's left up to the individual viewer to decide. But, as the previous responder said, Quarrel Jr. or Solitaire sent Bond the note. Maybe Felix Leiter, maybe not.
