Diamonds are Forever

Diamonds are Forever......

The big news about the movie was Sean Connery was back to the role of James Bond.
Harry Saltzman and Albert R. Broccoli tested other actors, but studio United Artists wanted Sean Connery back. In the story Bond discovers that the evil Ernst Stavro Blofield is stock pilling diamonds to use in his deadly laser satellite. The seventh film was an extreme departure from the
tone of the series. Director Guy Hamilton decided to veer away from the "seriousness " of the previous films and instead " go for fun ." Consequently, both humor and action were broadened,
resulting in a more lighter approach of Ian Fleming`s Bond Universe.
