In an attempt to graduate to more mature and serious roles, as well as break onto the silver screen, Diamond starred in the 1962 film ''Airborne,'' as Eddie Slocom a naive, country boy who wants to join the U.S. 82nd Airborne Division. Possessing a likeable cast of characters played fairly well by predominantly non-professional actors and Diamond's own creditable and believable performance as Eddie, the film which follows the course of his training to become a paratrooper was moderately well received by the public. However critics panned it due to the contrived and highly predictable story line and it remains today almost unknown. ''Airborne'' was his only lead role in a film, his only other film appearances were in supporting roles in the Patty Duke film, "Billie'' and the 1981 slasher film ''Scream.''​
