The final result was one of the best and most endearing 007 movies. Bond (Sean Connery) has to prevent a notorious gold smuggler, appropriately named Goldfinger (Gert Frobe), from robbing Fort Knox. Goldfinger is surrounded by evil henchmen, such as the sexy female pilot Pussy Galore (Honor Blackman) and Oddjob (Harold Sakata), who kills with his steel-rimmed bowler hats. In order to stop Goldfinger, Bond has to survive several perilous situations, including a huge, deadly laser. Goldfinger is one of the most popular films in the James Bond series, and it set the tone not only for the rest of the series but also for most of the action/adventure films of the late '60s and early '70s. --- Stephen Thomas Erlewine The third film in the remarkably durable franchise, Goldfinger set the gold standard (naturally) for future James Bond adventures. With the films' signature elements firmly entrenched --- including globe-trotting story, salacious credits sequence, Q's exasperation, and 007's phenomenal abilities with women and antagonists --- Goldfinger began to up the ante. Bond's well-equipped Aston-Martin and Goldfinger's elaborate Fort Knox model presaged future technical extravagance, while Bond's near castration via a giant laser was one more sign of the series' humorous self-awareness. Loquacious villain Auric Goldfinger, lethally hat-throwing Oddjob, and inimitably named Bond girl Pussy Galore were already outrageously tongue-in-cheek baddies long before Mike Myers parodied them in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997). Dispatching enemies, making puns, and seducing females with equal aplomb, tough-yet-debonair Sean Connery gracefully walked the line between straight-up action hero and sly burlesque, offering further evidence as to why he would be the definitive 007. Building on its predecessors' success, Goldfinger swiftly became one of the most popular films of 1964 (and Shirley Bassey's "Goldfinger" theme a hit single), leading the way for flashier Bond spectaculars. --- Lucia Bozzola Cast: Sean Connery - James Bond Gert Frobe - Auric Goldfinger Honor Blackman - Pussy Galore Shirley Eaton - Jill Masterson Bernard Lee - M Lois Maxwell - Miss Moneypenny Desmond Llewelyn - Q Harold Sakata - Odd Job Tania Mallet - Tilly Masterson Austin Willis - Simmons Cec Linder - Felix Leiter Martin Benson - Solo Bill Nagy - Midnight Alf Joint - Capungo Nadja Regin - Bonita Ray Young - Sierra Richard Vernon - Smithers Denis Cowles - Brunskill Michael Mellinger - Kisch Burt Kwouk - Mr. Ling Hal Galili - Strap Victor Brooks - Blacking Robert MacLeod - Atomic Specialist Mai Ling - Mei-Lei Gerry Duggan - Hawker John McLaren - Brigadier Margaret Nolan - Dink Crew: Guy Hamilton - Director Albert R.
