The man with the golden touch?


Goldfinger (1964)

Based on the novel of the same name this is the first Bond film directed by Guy Hamilton and stars Sean Connery, Gert Frobe and Honor Blackman. James Bond investigates the suspicious activities of a gold dealer.

This film has some of the iconic moments from the Bond series and Goldfinger provides a completely ruthless villain. Being so successful this film became a near blue print for many subsequent Bond films but the problem is that they these ideas get flogged to death. For all the praise this film gets there are some elements that do not work as well such as the gimmicky henchman and some seriously problematic attitudes to women.

3/5
