The James Bond film 'Diamonds Are Forever' definitely took the phrase "artistic license" to a new level. There was a HUGE difference in the plot- I hardly recognized the storyline, which deviated quite far from Bond's original "following the pipeline through the U.S." Most of the characters were the same, but a few were added on like Plenty- didn't remember her at all in the book, and I was super disappointed in Tiffany's character. First of all, she was supposed to be blonde, and second of all, she and James's relationship was not like that at all- in this "case", I prefer the book, as opposed to Casino Royale, where the Daniel Craig version of the film is supremely better than its origin.
I did however hear a fascinating back story about Sean Connery- apparently after a midnight 'rendezvous' with Plenty O'Toole actress Lana Wood, Lana expected he was in love with her, only to have been used by the Big Tam. ...Scandalous.
