DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER TRAILER...

This is the one that introduced screenwriter TOM

MANCIEWICZ's sense of humour to the BOND films,

something that poor old ROGER MOORE inherited and

was unfairly blamed for in later years.  True, Bond films

had always had humour, but Mankiewicz upped the

level almost (arguably) to the point of farce.

Had Connery continued in the role, the movies would

have gone in exactly the same direction as they did with

Moore - simply due to the demands on each new entry in

the series to top the previous ones.  However, it has to be

admitted that DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER remains

an enjoyable romp, and is one of my favourites.

 Here's the trailer to refresh your memory.
