The fact that it managed to survive the miscasting of both the main hero and the main villain is a testament to just how good the original story was, not to mention the talent and effort put in by everyone else involved in the project.

And I expect the filmmakers missed Sean Connery's presence a lot more than he missed them.

I think his return for Diamonds was part of his regret at not doing OHMSS and Diamonds ended up perhaps being the worst Connery 007, if not one of the worst overall.

Yes, DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER is a rather disappointing entry in the JAMES BOND film series, as are the rest of them until NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN or THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS in the 1980s.
