This was a spectacular review of one of the best of the Bond films. I love that Auric contains the symbol Au for gold. Small touches like that always make me smile. From the daring scene of discovering Jill painted in gold paint to the clever plot set at Fort Knox this movie is a golden example of Bond at its best. You did a fabulous job in your write-up, Sark!toto2https://www.blogger.com/profile/09652682900471649463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-38062605181749141812010-07-30T22:00:01.168-04:002010-07-30T22:00:01.168-04:00Okay, Sark, are you sitting down?

I enjoyed it mostly because I love Sean Connery, but it was nice to see an earlier Bond film and compare it to some of the more recent ones I have seen. Also, I suppose I should be ashamed to say this, but I just crack up whenever I hear Pussy Galore. Austin Powers thanks you, Mr. Fleming.Kimberly J.M.

Another one of my favorite scenes from the film,"GOLDFINGER", is the car compactor scene and the Swiss mountain car chase.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03476174860119487509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-79538730597517397872010-07-28T23:36:34.062-04:002010-07-28T23:36:34.062-04:00Sark, this is undoubtedly my favorite Bond film fo...Sark, this is undoubtedly my favorite Bond film for all the reasons you stated so eloquently. The pre-title sequence is the best in the series and ends with a classic Connery one-liner. The villain and henchman are also the finest and Aki mentioned my favorite quote from the movie ("I don't want you to talk, Mr. Bond..."). GOLDFINGER also stands out for me because of the plot--a weak spot in some of the best Bond outings. Here, though, Goldinger's plan to increase the value of his gold bullion and take over the global market is quite ingenius. I also like that Bond makes his pursuit of Goldfinger something of a personal vendetta after Jill is murdered in such a cruel manner. Thanks for a terrific write-up of a terrific 007 film.Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-92105012244850072712010-07-28T14:59:43.296-04:002010-07-28T14:59:43.296-04:00Sark, this is my husband's and my favorite of ...Sark, this is my husband's and my favorite of the Bond films. Your review pointed out all of the things that make this the "Bond classic" for me. Auric Goldfinger is my favorite Bond villain. True, he doesn't have a cool spoiled white cat on his lap, but no cat would like Mr. Goldfinger. He is just too cruel. I always thought the way Jill Masterson died was a unique but horrible way to kill someone. Also the dialogue is great like when Honor Blackman tells Bond, "My name is Pussy Galore." Bond replies, "I must be dreaming." And the photo you included with the laser beam aimed for Bond's "most valued parts" is my favorite line in all the Bonds films. Bond says to Goldfinger, "Do you expect me to talk?" And Goldfinger replies, "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die." Rule number one when a villain is talking to 007...never be arrogant and tell him all of your plans. Bond will somehow escape and your plans are foiled! Great review and I enjoyed it very much. Oh, you know that the song is on my iPod. The song is a classic and yep, I am humming it out loud right now!!Akihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03037507780056714337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-72343049390903917682010-07-28T14:38:50.131-04:002010-07-28T14:38:50.131-04:00Love these Bond reviews, Sark.

You gave some very interesting background information as well as a good overview of Goldfinger. Like you, I am never able to just say Goldfinger. It always comes out like Shirley Bassey.ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-84636755961113369142010-07-28T14:35:00.071-04:002010-07-28T14:35:00.071-04:00Margaret Nolan as "Dink"Margaret Nolan as "Dink"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
