Excellent article - but it does not contain the reference about Darko Kerim having previously worked as a circus strong - both mentioned in the novel and the film.

Yes, I do remember that in the movie. I just watched FRWL again last week (my cable company had it listed in the OnDemand free movie section......WHAT LUCK!), but I had forgotten about this thread while I was watching it. Thanx Blabbermouth!

Suppose it could have something to do with Kerim not being either a villain or a girl? Dunno.  |

It's just a minor thing, but Diamonds Are Forever was partly set in the Circus Circus casino, with elephants, acrobats, clowns, etc on show in the movie.
