The Diamond (released in the US as The Diamond Wizard) is a 1954 British crime film starring Dennis O'Keefe, Margaret Sheridan and Philip Friend. It has the distinction of being Britain's first 3D film, though according to the British Film Institute (BFI), it was shown in 3D only once, on 13 September 2006 in Hollywood.[1] Despite the 2006 showing the film was listed on the BFI 75 Most Wanted list of lost films.[1]

It seems unclear who directed The Diamond. According to the BFI website the British release credited British B-picture veteran Montgomery Tully as director, while the US release credited the film's American star, Dennis O'Keefe.[1] However, the US print viewed by the reviewer of the American Film Institute Catalog of Motion Pictures credits Tully[2] while a YouTube video with the opening credits of a print bearing the British release title credits O'Keefe.[3]
