Thys managed to shoot a few rolls of behind the scenes shots before apparently photographing CONNERY counting some (let’s say unofficial) money. Thys was removed from the set pretty shortly. He wrote about this adventure in his boek “OP NAAR … HOLLYWOOD” (TO HOLLYWOOD – ISBN/EAN: 978-90-807559-8-7-NUR640.

Featured here are three never published before stills from that shoot shot on 6×6 negatives providing an incredible depth. For the 45th birthday of DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER these stills are individually handprinted the old-fashioned analog way September 2016 in a limited edition of just 10 sets.
