In Diamonds Are Forever, Bond coyly reassures Tiffany Case that he’ll handle the fallout from her role in the diamond smuggling operation. It’s a classic Bond double entendre since Bond is literally on top her in bed and an amusing one at that, but it also feels slightly manufactured. Like several moments in the film’s unapologetically campy second half, this 40 second scene felt rushed and Bond and Tiffany Case’s partnership felt like an afterthought. Which tracks for the movie as a whole, since Bond’s relationships in Diamonds never really developed and were more surface-level rather than meaningful.
