Plot Summary

James Bond's mission is to find out who has been smuggling diamonds, which are not re-appearing. He adopts another identity in the form of Peter Franks. He joins up with Tiffany Case, and acts as if he is smuggling the diamonds, but everyone is hungry for these diamonds. He also has to avoid Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd, the dangerous couple who do not leave anyone in their way. Ernst Stavro Blofeld isn't out of the question. He may have changed his looks, but is he linked with the heist? And if he is, can Bond finally defeat his ultimate enemy. Written by simon

Did You Know?

Trivia During a late 1990s airing of the movie on TBS' "Dinner and A Movie", Bruce Glover recalled that while filming their scenes together, he and Putter Smith had Sir Sean Connery convinced that the two were actually openly homosexual. Glover added that a few years later, while on an airline flight, he was flirting with a stewardess when he suddenly heard a male Scottish-accented voice saying, "You son of a bitch". Glover turned around and saw that the man was Connery. See more »
Goofs During the lunar rover chase scene at 1:01:45, the camera follows the rover going down a ravine while a pursuing car flips and rolls down the slope. When the car stops at the bottom of the hill, one of the moon buggy's wheels, not the car's, rolls into the foreground. In the next shot, Bond is still driving the rover with all of its wheels attached. See more »
