THE KINGFISHER CAPER 1975-In Tribute to David MacCallum. (12+ age rating)

The Kingfisher Caper (released as Diamond Hunters in South Africa and as Diamond Lust on video) is a 1975 South African film directed by Dirk DeVilliers for Kavalier Films Ltd.
It stars Hayley Mills (as Tracey van der Byl), David McCallum (Benedict van der Byl), Jon Cypher (Johnny Lance), Volente Bertotti (Ruby Lance), Barry Trengove (Cappy) and Bill McNaught (Hendrich van der Byl).

Based on the novel The Diamond Hunters by Wilbur Smith (uncredited)
Kingfisher Caper writer Roy Boulting was married to star Hayley Mills at the time of the filming. This was his final writing credit.
It also features a score by jazz muscian and composer, Johnny Dankwroth.

Filmink magazine gave it a bruytal review
"Typical of several South African movies from the 1970s that attempted to crack the international market (The Shangani Patrol, Funeral for an Assassin, Killer Force, Target of an Assassin, Golden Rendezvous, Game for Vultures).
A half-baked action piece with B-list stars (Hayley Mills, David McCallum), iffy handling and one or two decent moments.
Roy Boulting, married to Mills at the time, gets a script credit, his last; the film helped kill her career as a movie star."

It was remade as the 2001 miniseries The Diamond Hunters with Alyssa Milano, Roy Scheider, Sean Patrick Flanery and Michael Easton in the Mills, McNaught, Cypher and McCallum roles respectively; Jolene Blalock, Armin Rohde and Hannes Jaenicke also featured.
