Featured review
Captivating and ingenious!
Who doesn't like heist movies, be it cash, jewelry, paintings, gold bars, etc. Or diamonds? The film has a solid, well-written script. Robert Shaw is one of the best actors ever and one of the actors I love the most. A unique man, with a more than penetrating gaze, with his eyes like a scalpel if not like a laser, he could have cut through any safe just by looking at it.
Barbara Hershey, Mary Magdalene from "The Last Temptation of Christ", looks super sexy, specially dressed as a nun. She is young, beautiful, talented and with her smile, she can wake up the dead. Mister Richard "Shaft" Roundtree, in the night scenes, in total dark, you can neither distinguish him nor say he's there on the screen. It's true, I'm not being mean when I say that. But he did a good role. And Shelley Winters is a perfect actress, very natural, with a special charm. The film reminded me of another very good film with a similar subject, "Topkapi", with Maximilian Schell in a role similar to that of Robert Shaw in this "Diamonds". But, in "Diamonds", at the end you will have a big unexpected surprise. Menahem Golan, the producer and director of this film, did a very good job. And nice music by Roy Budd too.
