Diamonds Are Forever (1971) is the seventh spy film in the EON Productions James Bond series, and the sixth and final official film to star Sean Connery as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond. The film is based on Ian Fleming's 1956 novel of the same name, and is the second of four James Bond films directed by Guy Hamilton.
