				"This 
				is gold, Mr. Bond. All my life I've been in love with its 
				color, 
				its brilliance, its divine heaviness." – 
				Auric Goldfinger 
				Why watch this? 
				Connery remains my favorite Bond, and this is my favorite Bond 
				film. 
				Plot Summary: 
				British secret agent James Bond is tasked with investigating the 
				wealthy gold magnate Auric Goldfinger, who is suspected of 
				smuggling gold internationally. Bond's investigation uncovers a 
				grand plot, codenamed "Operation Grand Slam," which threatens to 
				cripple the global economy. To stop Goldfinger's scheme, Bond 
				must navigate treacherous encounters with lethal henchman Oddjob 
				and the cunning Pussy Galore, all while unraveling the true 
				nature of Goldfinger's plan targeting the United States gold 
				reserves at Fort Knox. Dad's Preview: 
				Sean 
				Connery portrayed super-spy James Bond in many classic films. 
				Here he must outwit the genius Goldfinger. The portly villain's 
				plot is to seize the world's gold supply and contaminate it with 
				atomic fallout. Only Bond... James Bond... can stop him! But first, 
				Bond must overcome the ruthless henchman, Odd Job, who 
				wields a deadly top hat with a razor-sharp brim! It feels 
				corny just keying that last sentence, but the film still works 
				for me! There are even some lasers and slow-moving killing 
				devices!
