Although 007 is notoriously careless with the equipment delivered to him by Q, there is one item that retains a close hold on his affectionsthe superb Aston Martin DB5 entrusted to him on the "Goldfinger" mission
The Bank of England suspects that Goldfinger has been smuggling large amounts of gold bullion around the world Armed with a bar of gold as bait, Bond is assigned to uncover the truth about the man with the "Midas touch."
Gert Frobewho had played a German sergeant on Omaha beach in "The Longest Day"is perfectly cast in the role He's an overweight man, but he's dressed smartly and expensively, and he has a certain lightness and grace to him He's also supremely confident, self-assured, and resourceful And even though Bond keeps thwarting him, nothing will shake his will to succeed
Honor Blackman is the first of a long line of James Bond females with patently sexual names And ho could ever forget Shirley Eaton's introduction in the film? She is lying on a chaise longue on the balcony of Goldfinger's Miami Beach hotel suite, attired in black bra and panties, while she observes Mr. Simmons' (Austin Willis) gin hand through binoculars
The Swiss location shots add an international dimension to the fun with the chase along the overwhelming Swiss highways with the Alps in the background...
With two immortal exchanges: "You expect me to talk?"/"No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!" and "My name is Pussy Galore"/"I must be dreaming."), and with a fairy tense plot between a large number of highlights, and an expected spread of gadgetry, great women, and a menacing heavy with a deadly weapon, "Goldfinger" is probably the liveliest and most amusing of the Bond spy spoofs
In this entertaining film, Bond enjoys a bottle of Dom Pérignon'53...
