James Bond - Diamonds Are Forever

• Year: 1971
• Song: Diamonds Are Forever - Shirley Bassey
• Running Time: 4:45

In an unusual move, the start of this Bond follows very swiftly on from the end of OHMSS, i.e. the death of James's wife, at the hands of Ernst Stavro Blofeld. We kick off in a Japanese home... a man flies through the paper walls. Thrown in by Bond (we don't see his face, it's to add to the suspense over who is playing him I would guess). He's asking "Where is he?, Where is Blofeld?". Cairo... that's the destination.

We cut to a casino in Cairo. Another unknown man is in the frame. Hit by Bond. "One chance, where can I find him?".

The next scene, Bond is revelaed to us, and Sean Connery is back! "Bond, James Bond" - the line that never gets old.

Bond attacks the woman on the beach, strangling her until she gives up the location of Blofeld.

Finally, we see Blofeld, we are in a clinic at an unknown destination. He is having a procedure done to change his facial features. But Bond has made his way into the clinic. He drowns a man in mud! Checking if it was Blofeld... it's not!

Blofeld appears behind him, he has James cornered again. The chops on one of his guards are brilliant! It turns out that he was trying to make a double. A trap in James suit takes out one of the guards, he kills the other guard with surgical knife throwing!

Blofeld is strapped to a gurney and thrown into boiling mud.

"Welcome to Hell Blofeld."
