James Bond: Diamonds Are Forever





Drink: Martini
Entrée: Danish Street Dogs
Dessert: Apple Braid
Atmosphere: Tulips

Movie:
The bad styling in this film takes away from the sophisticated & sleekness that forges the Bond brand.  In fact we continually referenced Jill St. John's above look as the jester & the only character outside of Bond that had real style was the cat with it's diamond collar.  Then we have to endure scenes with Mr. Kidd & Mr. Wint which simply cannot be taken seriously as assassins.  And finally we have Bambi & Thumper...was that their pathetic 70's way of showing that not all of their female characters are weak?  Regardless you have to admire their athleticism.  Looking back maybe the idea behind all of this was to let Sean Connery just to have fun in his last Bond film because there are additional elements that are uncharacteristically comical such as the moon landing filming scene &
James operating the crane for Blofeld's submarine.  All in all though this is not one of James' best efforts.
