diamonds directly few forever golfing helicopter last oil relaxed remember scenes took towards wrapping
Diamonds Are Forever was a really relaxed experience. I remember towards the end of the shooting, we were on that big thing in the sea, the oil rig, and I had to do a few last scenes before wrapping up.
