Sean Connery acts as the suave 007 agent in yet another adaptation of Ian Fleming's novel with the same name.
The movie opens with the agent on the hunt for Stavro Blofeld, who is making multiples of himself and also changing his face with plastic. Bond kills him in the mud.
Bond receives lessons to identify diamonds and about the smuggling ring that obtains diamonds from mines in Africa and transports them to the U.S. Mr.Wint and Mr.Kidd are 2 double crossers that kill the dentist who brings the raw diamonds and the smugglers who pay the dentist. They are then shown to abscond with the loot.
Bond assumes the identity of Peter Frank, the contact of the smuggling group, to meet Tiffany Case. He establishes himself with her. When the real Peter Frank escapes, Bond kills him and uses his body to smuggle the diamonds, meeting with his police friend Felix Leiter in the American airport.
The corpse is directly taken to the crematorium and the diamonds are obtained. Bond is double crossed, but the smugglers find out that the diamonds aren't real and save Bond from a heated death. Case is suspicious of where the diamonds are and finds out Bond's true identity.
Bond discovers the plot of the villain, Blofeld (who hasn't indeed died), who was using Willard Whyte's resources and lab to selectively destroy nuclear weapons in certain countries, with the diamonds.
The rest of movie goes in undoing that mission.
The movie seemed to drag a bit at certain places, but on the whole it was watchable, for both Bond and Case combination. The movie worth a watch.
