Diamonds Are
Forever, while not on par with Goldfinger, still shows well as it follows the usual James Bond (Sean Connery) plotline—action, violence, and sex. This
time around the arch villain is Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Charles Grey) who has
decided a satellite can be used to blow up military bases and nuclear bombs. James
Bond’s protocol becomes: take out Blofeld, save the world, restore peace. Some
comedic elements are supplied with matter-of-fact henchmen Mr. Wint (Bruce
Glover) and Mr. Kidd (Putter Smith) who handle trite lines such as, “If God
wanted man to fly, he would had given them wings,” with poker-faced sobriety.
Additional Thanks

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
