Although 007 is notoriously careless with the equipment delivered to him by Q, there is one item that retains a close hold on his affections--the 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 Frobe--who 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...

Here it is! The quintessential blueprint for all spy films to come. Sean Connery has the time of his life playing Bond in this one! Former "The Avengers" star Honor Blackman goes down in history as the Bond Girl with the classic Bond Girl name, Pussy Galore. "I must be dreaming!" Gert Frobe hams it up wonderfully as Goldfinger. "No Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!" His plan to bomb Fort Knox is the stuff dreams are made of! Harold Sakata is the classic superhuman henchman with the "cutting edge" bowler hat. The gadget-laden Aston Martin deserves it's place as "Most Famous Movie Car In The World"! Watch out for that classic laser torture scene! Richard Maibaum writes classic lines aplenty! John Barry's music score and title song (sung with bold gusto by Shirley Bassey) ranks with his best work. This is where the whole James Bond Movie Phenomenon finally took off!

GOLDFINGER is a very good movie. Perhaps it is the best James Bond film of he entire series. This one film contains many definitive aspects of all the James Bond films in the series. GOLDFINGER is very different from its two predecessors. The level of sophistication is much higher. Visually it is more stunning and is lavishly produced establishing a high standard for many of the cinematic elements associated with a James Bond film. Sean Connery gives his most sophisticated and distinguished performance as James Bond in GOLDFINGER. His friendly and easygoing approach in this film combined with his look of determination and confidence, wit, charm and a physical dexterity all add to his arsenal for self-preservation in order to see the job of eliminating the opposition to fruition. Even the main villain Goldfinger, who is more menacing and cunningly diabolical than his predecessors, is given greater depth by screenwriters Richard Maibaum and Paul Dehn. Gert Frobe's performance and visual presence as Goldfinger is one of the highlights of this film and the series. He is a constant menace to Bond as they play a cat and mouse game throughout the film. The intriguing golf game is a highlight of their confrontation. Once again another distinctive element to the Bond formula is introduced during the golf game in the form of Oddjob, the main villain's henchman who kills his victims with a steal edged bowler hat. Returning to Richard Maibaum and Paul Dehn, it can be seen that the script of GOLDFINGER is perhaps the best structured and balanced giving the plot elements, action sequences and the familiar Bond gadgets integrated treatment producing a solid story. Their script is also rich with character development meticulously incorporated into the story, which is never intrusive to the film's flow but is part of the cohesiveness of all the visuals skillfully directed by Guy Hamilton and expertly edited together by Peter Hunt. Of those visuals it is Production Designer Ken Adam's distinctive set designs that also help define the film's "Bond look" where he creates a unique look of functionally modern almost futuristic sets that dominate the screen with his iconic style. Cinematographer Ted Moore did some of his best work on this film utilizing photographic techniques to produce a dynamic and lavish look to this film. John Barry composed (along with lyricists Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley) the main title to GOLDFINGER sung by Shirley Bassey, which is probably the most recognizable song from the series and immediately brings to mind images of James Bond to this day. This melody used and often referred to throughout the score integrates the James Bond Theme along with John Barry's own distinctive musical motifs and style once again lending credence that this is the definitive Bond film when combined with all the other superlative elements presented in GOLDFINGER. The "Bond Girls" and their specific role in the Bond formula are best represented yet uniquely presented in GOLDFINGER seeing that the formula in this film is tweaked a bit. Usually the formula dictates that Bond has one leading female partner who accompanies him on and off during his exploits. There is also the sacrificial lamb that becomes sexually involved with Bond but along the way pays the ultimate sacrifice, which only intensifies Bond's resolve to vanquish the villain. Also, there may be a female villain who Bond also becomes sexually involved in and her fate varies from film to film. GOLDFINGER as a film stands on its own. It is good filmmaking. As a James Bond film it could easily be considered the best of the series.

Sean Connery is the ONE and ONLY James Bond - Agent 007. That's it. This is his best outing. GOLDFINGER has a great script, villain, girls, location, gadgets, music and action. Who could ask for more when you really examine it? The DVD image is good but I question the aspect ratio. The aspect ratio on my laserdisc looks closer the theatrical version. The extras on this DVD are outstanding just the same.

This is one of my favorite Bond movies. It begins with the beautiful Shirley Eaton, and just gets better. This is a classic which really set the pace for future Bond flicks. Sean Connery, Gert Frobe and Honor Blackman are great. The world can thank Ian Fleming for having such a wonderful imagination.
