December 17 1971 

DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER opens in US. Directed by Guy Hamilton. Screenplay by Richard Maibaum and Tom Mankiewicz, from the novel by Ian Fleming. Sean Connery exits his one time comeback (& heretofore celebrated tenure) as Bond in pallid, pedestrian caper whose dispiriting  self parodying tenor serves as a prescient nod to Roger Moore's upcoming incumbency. With Charles Gray, Jill St. John, Jimmy Dean and Bruce Cabot.
