Diamonds Are Forever (1971) is the seventh film of the James Bond film series and the sixth and last official film to star Sean Connery as fictional British secret agent James Bond. Connery would later reprise his role as Bond one final time in 1983's Never Say Never Again, however, the film was not produced by EON Productions, makers of the "official" James Bond films. It is a loose adaptation of Ian Fleming's fourth James Bond novel. It is the third of three films of the Bond film series referred to as "the Blofeld trilogy" due to Ernst Stavro Blofeld being the main villain in all three. The previous two "Blofeld trilogy" Bond films were You Only Live Twice (1967) and On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969).
