Diamonds…Diamonds in space…A satellites with diamonds and a laser. Yes, it can only be James Bond entering the Space Race… There is much to like about this 1971 Sean Connery Bond outing — it has a really strongly paced and plotted story, visually jumping smoothly from location to location. Having said that, there are, (shock), no Astons! But there is a very gorgeous Ford Mustang Mach 1 which gets a lot of screen time, and that stunt, (and that continuity error). There are creepy evil dudes channeling Quentin Tarantino with ‘Mr Wint’ and ‘Mr Kidd’. There are cloned (or possibly plastic surgeried) villains and their cloned fluffy cats; perilous escapes from death; diamond clad chandeliers and Blofeld’s stunning modernist pad. Connery also performs Craig like stunts (on top of a lift) and Moore-like, on the side of a building, years before these later Bonds did the same.
