Arthur Elrod was Palm Springs’ most glamorous interior designer, and his playground was architect John Lautner’s concrete-and-glass masterpiece — immortalized in Diamonds Are Forever. This film reveals how Elrod fused desert modernism with Hollywood theatricality, creating spaces so bold even Bond villains coveted them. Essential viewing.
