    Where to Watch

Two men fight over South African diamond fields in the 1850s. Parker: David Farrar. Muller: Niall MacGinnis. Mary: Honor Blackman. Dora: Diana Dors. Raymond: Andrew Crawford. Familiar action yarn; good cast. Directed by David MacDonald.

Set in South Africa during the diamond rush of the 1870s, DIAMOND CITY details the rivalry between two factions of miners. The good guys, led by Farrar, strive for law-and-order among the miners. The bad guys, led by MacGinnis, care nothing about fairness or law, settling disputes with violence and deceit instead. MacGinnis also makes money on the side by selling liquor to the natives. The law-and-order approach proves more successful.
