"Diamonds are Forever" from 1971 is one of the more fun James Bond outings. Nothing here is too serious, but it nevertheless has a good linear plot, nice locations, good acting, good music. Really it's a solid film all around with some memorable scenes and lines. I've seen it many times over the course of my life and still enjoy watching it. I rated it an 8/10, but maybe I should raise that rating cause it's actually in my top 100 films list at number 65. I would recommend it as one of the better films from the 1970's. As said, it still entertains, and that is a film's number one job, though I know it's not perfect. But, I thought Jill St. John was one of the better Bond girls and Charles Gray gave Bloefeld some personality, and I still think of him as that character due to this movie.
