"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:

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

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 rotund genius Goldfinger. The stout villain's
plot is to seize the world's gold supply by contaminating it with
atomic fallout. Only Bond... James Bond... can stop him... But first,
James must overcome the ruthless henchman, Odd Job, who
wields a deadly top hat with a razor-sharp brim! It's
corny just keying that last sentence, yet the film still works
for many of us. There are even some lasers and slow-moving killing
devices! |
