Plot Summary: James Bond, equipped with an armoury of hi-tech gadgets, infiltrates a Las Vegas diamond-smuggling ring in a bid to foil a plot to target Washington with a laser in space. However, as 007 prepares to tackle the evil Blofeld, the mastermind who threatens to destabilise the world, he is captivated by the delicious Tiffany Case - but is she really a double agent? "Diamonds Are Forever" is a 1971 spy film and the seventh film in the James Bond series produced by Eon Productions. It is the sixth and final Eon film to star Sean Connery, who returned to the role as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond, having declined to reprise the role in "On Her Majestys Secret Service" (1969).

Only ONE “Real” Bond: George Lazenby was originally offered a contract for seven Bond films but declined and left after just one, "On Her Majestys Secret Service", on the advice of his agent Ronan ORahilly. Clint Eastwood, Burt Reynolds, Robert Wagner, Brett Halsey, Malcolm Roberts, and Ranulph Fiennes were also considered. Adam West turned down the role because he felt that James Bond should be a British actor. Michael Gambon turned down the role because he was "in terrible shape" and "had tits like a woman." Producers Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman wanted to cast Roger Moore, but he was busy filming "The Persuaders". Singer Tom Jones stated he was considered for the role, but Broccoli felt that he was too famous and people would not have believed him as Bond. American actor John Gavin had recently played the French Spy OSS 117 in the Eurospy flick "OSS 117 Murder for Sale" (1968), so Gavin was signed for the role of James Bond in "Diamonds Are Forever" (1971). However, David Picker, head of "United Artists", wanted the box-office assurance of Sean Connery, and made it clear that Connery was to be enticed back to the role and that money was no object. When approached about resuming the role of Bond, Connery demanded the fee of $1.25 million. To entice the actor to play Bond once more, United Artists offered two back-to-back films of his choice, the first of which was "The Offence" (1973), directed by Connerys friend, Sidney Lumet. After both sides agreed to the deal, Connery used the fee to establish the "Scottish International Education Trust", where Scottish artists could apply for funding without having to leave their country to pursue their careers. Albert R. Broccoli insisted that Gavin be paid the full salary, for which his contract called, and David Picker of UA agreed. Gavins contract was honored in full, despite losing the role to Connery. According to Roger Moores "James Bond Diary", Gavin was slated to play Bond in "Live and Let Die" (1973), but Harry Saltzman insisted on a British actor for the role and Roger Moore was given the part.
