FILM PLOT OUTLINE: Someone is smuggling large quantities of diamonds. Bond is
assigned to find out who the thieves are and where the diamonds have been going.
STARRING: Sean Connery as James Bond Jill St John Charles Gray
MEMORABLE BECAUSE: Along with Goldfinger, one of the most memorable title
songs. An ageing Connery returns to play the Bond role one last time.

INTERESTING MUSICAL FACTS: After the success of Goldfinger the producers
reunited Barry and Bassey to come up with another huge success in “Diamonds Are

actually walked out and slammed the door!) but the other producer Cubby Broccoli
liked it and the song stayed.
INTERESTING FILM FACTS: Sean Connery donated all of his $1.25m fee to
charity.
