Diamonds Are Forever (1971) Official Trailer - Sean Connery James Bond Movie HD
Rotten Tomatoes Classic Trailers
Pretty typical Bond movie - lots of action, pretty girls & fast cars in a variety of locations scattered across the globe. The car chases are nore like something out of Smokey and the Bandit than the European chase scenes we usually get. We also get a smattering of heavy industry and a fantastic super weapon, great stuff all around. We've also got a fancy house:

The Elrod House serves as Willard Whyte's vacation home where he is being held captive by Bambi and Thumper, two of the most attractive thugs you are likely to meet. Supposedly 'ten miles away', it's actually 180 miles away in Palm Springs. It last sold in 2016 for just under $8 million. Redfin now estimates that its value has almost doubled. Thank you extravagant government spending.
The two oh-so-polite thugs (Mr. Wint & Mr. Kidd) have appeared here before, as has Willard Whyte (Jimmy Dean of country music and sausage fame).
