DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER | Bond and Tiffany confront Blofeld

On this day in 1971 Bond and Tiffany Case's confrontation with Blofeld on the oil rig was filmed for DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER. Production designer Ken Adam said: “We were very lucky, we found an actual rig off the coast of San Diego. It was not in use so we were able to stage all of our explosions on it.”

He woke up one morning and found that the tape was at its end . He had no idea what was on it, he rewound the tape and listened to it to find to his surprise 5 minutes of himself playing and singing the guitar hook, the chorus and part of the first verse to Satisfaction and 40 minutes of himself snoring loudly.

Connery should have play in O.H.M.S.S. and I can imagine him in ''Live and Let Die'' in 1972 for celebration 10 years Bond films. He would had ended as 007 from there where he started ten years before (Jamaica).

[@jonburrows8602]

That is an incorrect assumption that a lot of people make that don't do the research. He liked making this film, much more than YOLT and Thunderball, where he felt he was being made into a button pusher. He loved the dialogue in this movie and that's why he tried to get Tom Mankiewitz, who wrote DAF, to be the head writer on Never Say Never again, when he made his comeback 12 years later. But TM felt a loyalty to EON and therefore declined. Contemporary critics said Connery's performance was his most relaxed and confident since Goldfinger.

I, too, would have liked to give the tape back to Tiffany in this discreet way. As, indeed, I would have liked to swap with Connery for all the scenes involving her.

Connery's James Bond was tough, but human enough to get hurt and captured. Cartoonishly killing, with an "I'm too sexy" smile to avoid the trap of taking it too seriously and looking like a physchopath.❤️Like some incredibly overpaid "zombie" 007 actors

あまり評判は良くなかったみたいだけど私は好きですねぇ〜🤔😃🎥

the legend is in old bond movies actual hero would just come for dialogues and kissing/sex scenes. all other action and physicality even walks were done by duplicates and stunt men..

[@Omnihil777]

I wonder why they never hid any weapon in Sean Connery's hairpiece? At this age here you could hide a veritable rocket launcher in it, I presume.

[@MikeSmith-fs9wh]

tsk tsk. Rest in peace, Sean! You were the best Bond. Unlike Roger Moore's gay Bond impersonation.
