Top reviews from the United States
- Mike HicksMovie purchaceOne of the Best movies ever!
- FrankBest Bond filmI agree with other reviews. This is the best Bond film of them all! Great tempo and story. Sean Connery
was the best Bond. (Someone thought I looked like Timothy Dalton, but his Bond films didn't interest me). Surely sexist, but I enjoyed the Bond Girls during their best years. For my taste, B-clichés like "shaken, not stirred" didn't work as well with repetition. Car chases usually work! - Lori ZuberBond, James Bond!!!On of the best James Bond movies!
- Joe O'BrienJames Bond is back in action ! Everything he touches turns to excitement !I first saw "Goldfinger" when it first premiered on television on the ABC network in early 1972. I was 16 at the time. Well, I'm 67 now and got it DVD and appreciate it more than ever. This was the first James Bond film I ever saw. I first got it on BETA back in the '80's. Then on VHS in the '90's. This is one of my favorite action adventure movies. Released in 1964, this was the 3rd James Bond flick. "Dr. NO" in 1962 and "From Russia With Love" in 1963 being the first two. Sean Connery returns as Agent 007 and this time his assignment is to go after Auric Goldfinger played by Gert Frobe ,who's plot is to corner the world's gold market by sabotaging the gold reserve at Fort Knox in Kentucky. Goldfinger is considered one of the best Bond villains of all time. The lovely Honor Blackman plays the Bond girl "Pussy Galore." Shirley Eaton plays Jill Masterson, Goldfinger's accomplice in a memorable role. Harold Sakata plays Goldfinger's henchman "Odd Job," another great villain. Bernard Lee returns as "M," Lois Maxwell as his secretary Miss Moneypenny and Desmond Llewelyn as "Q."
Director Guy Hamilton does a fine job. John Barry composes a great score and Shirley Bassey sang the popular theme song which reached No. 8 on The Billboard Charts. Bond drives a fantastic Aston Martin. Which was chosen because it is considered England's most sophisticated car. This was the first one to become a big hit at the box-office and the first to win an "Oscar," (for Best Sound.) The tagline for one of the movie posters read...."James Bond is back in action ! Everything he touches turns to excitement !" - PhotoscribeIt's the film, the film with the MIDAS touch....This is the movie that pretty much made Bond as a film institution. The car, the music, the cinematography, (for the day,) the casting...absolutley EVERYTHING was perfect for this third film installment of the Bond series, and it paid off. For a time, "Goldfinger" was THE highest grossing film in the world before "The Sound Of Music" came out. And at only $1.50 a head back in those days, $43,000,000 was no mean feat!
What made "Goldfinger" so fascinating was that, as far-fetched as the idea was, the possible attempt by a foreign power to take over Fort Knox was STILL all-too-conceivable! Not much was changed from the book, but it WAS substantial: The inimitable Miss Galore only had 2% of the book, she had 66% of the movie. Tilly Masterson, who had 66% of the book, had only 1% of the movie. Felix Leiter was only in the last 2% of the book, but was all through the movie, and, in the movie, introduced Bond to Auric Goldfinger. In the book, the guy Goldfinger played gin with met Bond at an airport in the Caribbean as they were both leaving the island got Bond interested in Herr Goldfinger's suspected card cheating initially.
In the book, Pussy Galore was actually one of the people brought in by Bond and Tilly FOR Goldfinger to help engineer Operation Grand Slam. In the movie, she worked for Goldfinger as a pilot and flight trainer...in the book, she headed a troupe of aerialists. (In the book, Bond and Tilly were granted their lives after being captured on the condition that they actually work for his organization AS recruiters and planners!) However, with all these differences, (and there are more!) the "feel" of the book is pretty much kept intact.
Another thing, if you are too young to remember: This film, probably more than any other in movie history, influenced pop culture unlike anything you've ever seen! Pop literature, movies, television, manufacturing and magazine publishing all went bananas for the whole Bond aesthetic and lifestyle. TV was awash in Bond imitators on all three networks: shows like "The Man from U.N.C.L.E.", "The Wild, Wild West", "T.H.E Cat", "The Secret Life of Henry Pfyffe", "The Avengers", "The Saint", "Danger Man" ("Secret Agent",)"Honey West", "Get Smart", "Mission: Impossible", "Mannix", "Amos Burke, Secret Agent" and "Blue Light" started being programmed in as if a sluice gate opened after 1964, the year of Goldfinger's release.
Fan magazines popped up for "U.N.C.L.E.", Bond, The Avengers and "Secret Agent" and commerce, too, dove in, with "007" toiletries for men, "Silva Thins" cigarettes, "James Bread from Bond", "The Man From G.L.A.D." and Mattel's "OM" line of toys. Nothing...repeat, NOTHING, not even Star Wars or Star Trek merchandising, ever equalled this madness!
Many Bond competitors popped up in pulp novels as well, characters like Matt Helm, Modesty Blaise, George Smiley, Harry Palmer and others too numerous to mention. Movie rivals were "Arabesque", Blaise, Our Man Flint, Helm, George Smiley and Alec Leames, Harry Palmer and others, including a substandard comedy duo, Allen and Rossi, doing a piece of swill parody called "The Last of the Secret Agents". Even the gruesome, lowest common denominator sitcom, "The Beverly Hillbillies", parodied Bond. It was incredible!
BTW, did you know that Auric Goldfinger was Russian and was actually working for SMERSH? Well, now you know! All in all, a movie with few faults in a period when good movie mystery/adventures were actually just getting revived as a genre, ("Charade", "Arabesque", "Our Man Flint".) This baby could easily be called the King of Them All!
