Diamond City is a British "western", set not in Australia as was often the
case but in the wilds of South Africa. David Farrar is a lawkeeper sworn to
lawkeep in the diamond mines. The poachers thereabouts try their luck at
circumventing Farrar, but he's too fast for them. The final shootout isn't
quite the Gunfight at the OK Corral, but it will serve until English history
offers a real counterpart to that famous western battle. David Farrar's
leading lady in Diamond City is future Avengers star Honor Blackman, who
in 1949 was still in her blushing-heroine phase.
