Dateline Diamonds

About This Movie

Dateline Diamonds is a quirky blend of comedy and crime set against the vibrant backdrop of 1960s London. The film revolves around the chaotic escapades of a mod-rock band's manager, portrayed with a certain frenetic energy, as he finds himself entangled in a diamond smuggling scheme. The Small Faces, with their energetic performances and catchy tunes, really add to the film's lively atmosphere. The pacing is a bit erratic, but that just adds to the charm, reminiscent of the counterculture movement of the time. You can almost feel the mod spirit and hear the music echoing through the streets, making it a unique snapshot of that era.

Dateline Diamonds has had a somewhat uneven release history, making it a bit of a rarity among collectors. It was originally released in a standard format, but finding a good copy can be a challenge. Interest seems to spike around screenings or festivals that highlight 60s cinema or music films. The Small Faces' involvement adds an extra layer of appeal for those drawn to the music scene of the era.
