"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!
