Movie Reviews of Diamonds Are Forever

Movie Review: International Espionage
Summary: 4 Stars

Sean Connery returns as the inimitable James Bond, Agent 007; he teams up with the beutiful Tiffany Case(Jill St. John) to stop his adversary Blofeld(Charles Gray)from using the fortune in stolen diamonds to finance a deadly laser satellite. Exciting, entertaining, a typical James Bond film that only Sean Connery can bring off successfully. Don't be fooled by the twists and turns as the story unfolds; you know that James Bond always wins no matter how dark any chance of success may appear at times.

Summary of Diamonds Are Forever

Superspy James Bond (Sean Connery) gets tangled up in the wild world of international diamond smuggling. But hold on--the mission is not quite so simple as it seems; his chase of the jewel thieves leads him to conspirators with plans for unleashing a nuclear armageddon on an unsuspecting planet. The majority of the action takes place on the gaudy glittering streets of Las Vegas as Bond negotiates the grotesque terrain with his customary aplomb and fancy mechanical gadgets. As always he manages to dally with several sexy bombshells along the way including the wonderful Lana Wood as Plenty O'Toole. Connery is as suave and entertaining as ever taking on the menacing Charles Gray who is trying his hand at playing Bond's archenemy Blofeld. Look for the car chase down a narrow alley.System Requirements:Running Time: 120 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating:?PG UPC:?027616085412 Manufacturer No:?M108541
Sean Connery retired from the 007 franchise after You Only Live Twice (replaced by George Lazenby in the underrated and underperforming On Her Majesty's Secret Service) but was lured back for one last official appearance as James Bond in Diamonds Are Forever. He's in fine form--cool but ruthless--in a sharp precredits sequence hunting the unkillable Blofeld (a suavely menacing Charles Gray in this incarnation), but the MacGuffin of a story (involving diamond smuggling, a superlaser on a satellite, and Blofeld's latest plot to rule the world ) is full of the groaning tongue-in-cheek gags that Roger Moore would make his signature. Goldfinger director Guy Hamilton keeps the film zipping along gamely from one entertaining set piece to another, including a terrific car chase in a parking lot, a battle with a pair of bikini-clad killer gymnasts named Bambi and Thumper, and a deadly game with a bizarre pair of fey, sardonic killers who dispatch their victims with elaborate invention. Jill St. John is the brassy but not too bright American smuggler Tiffany Case, and country singer and pork sausage king Jimmy Dean costars as a reclusive billionaire with not-so-subtle parallels to Howard Hughes. Shirley Bassey belts out the memorable theme song, one of the series' best. Connery retired again after this one but he returned once more, for Never Say Never Again 15 years later for a rival production company. --Sean Axmaker
