Bond takes on the American mob in an attempt to bust a diamond smuggling ring. Good action and lots of keenly detailed observations on American life in the mid-50s. The movie, on the other hand, is easily the worst to feature Connery and one of the worst ever in the series. All the campiness of the Moore years gets its first run here, with a ridiculous attempt to graft Blofeld into a slideshow of key moments from the book. Fine book, atrocious movie.
