It's hard to believe but Diamonds Are Forever is 40 years old this month- the film, that is. The 1971 movie marked Sean Connery's return to the role of James Bond after a one film absence. (George Lazenby played the role in On Her Majesty's Secret Service.) The film is still considered a lukewarm entry in the series by die-hard fans, as it introduced the "over-the-top" humor that would define the series for many years to come. Still, it was a boxoffice blockbuster and did boast a great John Barry score and the trademark Ken Adam sets. The web site MI6 HQ has uncovered an interview with Connery conducted during the filming of Diamonds. Click here to read.
Here is the ultra rare Christmas teaser trailer for the film.
