Goldfinger is a 1964 British spy film and the third edition of the James Bond series produced by Eon Productions, starring Sean Connery as James Bond's fictional MI6 agent. It is based on a novel of the same name by Ian Fleming. The film also stars Honor Blackman as Bond girl Pussy Galore and Gert FrÃÆ'¶be as the title character of Auric Goldfinger, along with Shirley Eaton as iconic Bond girl Jill Masterson. Goldfinger was produced by Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman and was the first of four Bond films directed by Guy Hamilton.

The film's plot has Bonds investigating gold smuggling by golden Auric Goldfinger and eventually unveiled Goldfinger's plan to contaminate the US Bullion Depository at Fort Knox. Goldfinger is the first Bond blockbuster, with a budget equivalent to the two previous coupled movies. The main photography took place from January to July 1964 in England, Switzerland and the United States.

The release of the film led to a number of tie-licensed promotional items, including the Aston Martin DB5 toy car of Corgi Toys which became the biggest selling toy of 1964. The promotion also includes a picture of Shirley Eaton painted with gold as Jill Masterson on the cover of Life >.

Many of the elements introduced in this film appear in many later James Bond films, such as extensive use of technology and gadgets by Bond, a broad pre-credit sequence that stands largely off the main storyline, some foreign locales and a humor -in tongue -cheek. Goldfinger is the first Bond film to win an Academy Award and opened for critical reception which is very profitable. The film was financially successful, closing its budget in two weeks.

In 1999, it was ranked # 70 on the list of British Top 100 BFI films compiled by the British Film Institute.

Plot

After destroying the drug lab in Latin America, James Bond - Agent 007 - travels to Miami Beach to receive instructions from his superior, M, through CIA agent Felix Leiter. He had to observe the golden Auric Goldfinger trader at the hotel there. Bonds see Goldfinger cheat gin ginmy and stop him by distracting his employee, Jill Masterson, and blackmail Goldfinger to lose. After Bond and Jill fine-tune their new relationship, Bond was knocked out by Korean waiter Goldfinger, Giant's giant Oddjob. When Bond woke up, he found Jill dead, covered in gold paint, after dying of "skin dead."

In London, the chancellor of the treasurer and M explained to Bond that the price of gold varies worldwide, allowing one to profit by selling gold bullion internationally, and the goal is to determine how Goldfinger does it by smuggling. Bond arranged to meet Goldfinger socially at his country club in Kent, and won a high-risk golf game against him with a recovered Nazi gold bar as a stakes. Bond follows him to Switzerland, where Tilly, Jill's sister, makes a vengeful attempt to fail by firing a shotgun at Goldfinger.

Bonds sneak into the Goldfinger factory and find Goldfinger smuggle gold by melting it and putting it into his car bodywork, which he brings with him every time he travels. Bond also overhears Goldfinger talking to a Chinese agent, Mr. Ling, about "Operation Grand Slam." Leaving, Bond meets Tilly as she tries to kill Goldfinger again, but sends an alarm in the process. Oddjob killed Tilly with his hat, and the Bond was caught and tied to a cutting table beneath an industrial laser, which began cutting a gold piece in half, with Bond lying on it.

The bond then lies on Goldfinger who is known to MI6 about Grand Slam, causing Goldfinger to spare Bond's life to mislead MI6 into the belief that Bond has many things on hand.

Bonds were transported by Goldfinger's private jet, piloted by Pussy Galore, to his male ranch near Fort Knox, Kentucky. Bonds escaped and watched Goldfinger's meeting with the US mafia, who had brought the material he needed for Operation Grand Slam. Although they each promised $ 1 million, Goldfinger instigated them that they could have a million today, or $ 10 million tomorrow, and connect the Grand Slam, revealed as his plan to rob Fort Knox. He then kills them using the "Delta 9" nerve gas he plans to release to Fort Knox.

The bond was recaptured and said Goldfinger's plan to rob gold storage would not work, as he would not have time to move gold before the Americans intervened. Goldfinger indicated he had no intention of stealing gold, and Bond concluded that Goldfinger would detonate a dirty bomb inside a vault, designed to make gold useless for 58 years. This will increase Goldfinger's own gold value and give China the advantage of potential economic turmoil. Goldfinger subtly threatens that if Americans were to attempt to locate the bomb or disrupt his plan, he would easily blow it up somewhere important in the United States.

Operation Grand Slam begins with Pussy Galore's Flying Circus spraying gas to Fort Knox. However, Bond has seduced Galore and convinced him to replace nerve gas with harmless substances and warned the US government about Goldfinger's plans. Fort Knox military personnel play dead until they are sure that they can catch the bombs and prevent the criminals from escaping.

Believing military forces to be neutralized, Goldfinger's private army broke into Fort Knox and accessed the dome itself as Goldfinger arrived in a helicopter with an atomic device. In the vault, his men, Kisch, handcuffed Bond to the bomb. The troops rose and attacked, killing many of Goldfinger's men. Seeing this, Goldfinger closed the vault, took off his coat, showed the US Army colonel's uniform, and killed Mr. Ling and several troops who tried to open the safe, then fled. Kisch realizes he's trapped and tries to stop the bomb, but Oddjob throws it into his death. Bonds grabbed Kisch's handcuff keys and freed him, but Oddjob repeatedly attacked him before he could disarm the bomb. Eventually Bond manages to shock Oddjob, then forcing the key of the bomb using gold bullion from the vault, but can not disarm it. Meanwhile, the soldiers, still fighting against the Goldfinger army, ultimately benefited and opened the dome. After finally killing all the Goldfinger men, the troops rushed to disarm the bomb. An atom specialist accompanying Leiter arrives with a few seconds, and just turns off the device with the timer stops at "0:07".

With the court case between Kevin McClory and Fleming around Thunderball still in the High Court, producers Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman turned to Goldfinger as the third Bond film. Goldfinger has what is then considered a large budget of $ 3 million (US $ 24 million in dollars 2017), equivalent to the budget of Dr. No and From Russia with Love are combined, and is the first Bond film to be classified as blockbuster box-office. Goldfinger was chosen with the American cinema market, as previous films concentrated on the Caribbean and Europe.

Terence Young, who directed two previous films, chose to film the Moll Flanders' Amoral Adventure instead, after a payment dispute that denied him a percentage of the movie's profits. Broccoli and Saltzman turned to Guy Hamilton to direct. Hamilton, who refused to direct Drs. No , feeling that he needs to make Bond less than "superman" by making criminals look stronger. Hamilton knew Fleming, because both were involved in intelligence issues in the Royal Navy during World War II. Goldfinger saw the return of two crew members not involved with From Russia with Love : the action coordinator Bob Simmons and Ken Adam production designer. Both play an important role in the development of Goldfinger, with Simmons photographing a series of battles between Bond and Oddjob in the Fort Knox dome, which is not only seen as one of Bond's best fights, but also "should stand as one of the cinematic battles great "while Adam's effort at Goldfinger was a" fancy baroque "and has produced a movie called" one of his best works ".

Write

Richard Maibaum, who co-wrote the previous films, returned to adapt the seventh James Bond novel. Maibaum fixed the plot hole that the novel criticized, where Goldfinger was actually trying to empty Fort Knox. In the film, the Bond notes it will take twelve days for Goldfinger to steal gold, before criminals reveal he actually intends to illuminate the topical concept of the Red Chinese atomic bomb. However, Harry Saltzman did not like the first draft, and took Paul Dehn to revise him. Hamilton said Dehn "brought out the English side of things". Connery does not like his draft, so Maibaum returns. Dehn also suggested a pre-credit sequence to be an action scene without relevance to the actual plot. Wolf Mankowitz, a screenwriter who is not credited at Dr. No , suggest a scene where Oddjob puts his car into the crusher's car to dispose of Mr. Solo. Due to the quality of work of Maibaum and Dehn, the scripts and outline for Goldfinger become a blueprint for future Bond films.

Filming

The subject of photography at Goldfinger began on January 20, 1964 in Miami, Florida, at the Fontainebleau Hotel; the crew is small, consisting only of Hamilton, Broccoli, Adam, and cinematographer Ted Moore. Sean Connery never went to Florida to film Goldfinger because she was filming Marnie elsewhere in the United States. In DVD audio commentary, director Guy Hamilton stated that in addition to Cec Linder who plays Felix Leiter, there is no main actor in the Miami order who actually is there. Connery, Gert Frobe, Shirley Eaton, Margaret Nolan who played Dink, and Austin Willis, who served as victims of Goldfinger cards, all filming their share on the sound stage at Pinewood Studios when the film was moved there. Miami also serves as a location for scenes involving the pursuit of Oddjob Leiter.

After five days in the US, production was transferred to England. Its main locations are Pinewood Studios, home among other sets, recreation from Fontainebleau, South American city from pre-titled sequences and both Goldfinger plantations and factories. Three places near the studio were used, Black Park to catch a car involving Aston Martin Bond and Goldfinger's henchmen inside the factory complex, RAF Northolt for American airport and Stoke Park Club for golf club scene.

The end of the chase, when Bond Aston Martin hit the wall because the mirror and the chase immediately preceded it, was filmed on the road at the back of Pinewood Studios Sound Stages A and E and Prop Store. The road is now called Goldfinger Avenue. Southend Airport is used for scenes where Goldfinger flies to Switzerland. Ian Fleming visited the set of Goldfinger in April 1964; he died a few months later in August 1964, shortly before the film was released. The second unit was filmed in Kentucky, and these pictures were edited into scenes that were filmed on Pinewood.

The subject of photography then moved to Switzerland, with a car chase filmed on the streets of a small curve near Realp, the Pilatus Aircraft factory exterior at Stans functioning as a Goldfinger factory, and Tilly Masterson's attempt to snipe Goldfinger shot at Furka Pass. The shoot was wrapped on July 11 in Andermatt, after nineteen weeks of filming. Just three weeks before the film's release, Hamilton and a small team, which included Broccoli's stepchild and future producer Michael G. Wilson as assistant director, went for a last-minute shoot in Kentucky. Additional people are employed for post-production issues such as dubbing so that the film can be finished on time.

Broccoli got permission for filming in the Fort Knox area with the help of his friend, Lieutenant Colonel Charles Russhon. To shoot Pussy Galore's Flying Circus with gas attacking the soldiers, the pilot is only allowed to fly over 3,000 feet. Hamilton remembers these "desperate", so they fly about 500 feet, and "the military is really a monkey". The scene of the unconscious person involved the same soldier who moved to a different location.

For safety reasons, filming and photography are not allowed near or within the US Bullion Depository. All sets for building interiors are designed and built from scratch at Pinewood Studios. The filmmakers have no clue as to what parts of the storage are, so Ken Adam's imagination gives the idea of ​​gold stacked on gold behind bars.

Adam then told the British daily newspaper The Guardian: "Nothing is allowed at Fort Knox, but because [the producer] Cubby Broccoli has a good relationship and the Kennedy family likes Ian Fleming's books, I'm allowed to fly it once.That's pretty scary - they have machine guns on the roof.I'm also allowed to walk around but if you get out of the car there's a loudspeaker warning you to stay away.No chance to get into it, and I'm glad because I know from going to the Bank of England safe that gold is not stacked so high and it's all underwhelming.This gives me the opportunity to show you the world's largest gold repository as I imagine, with gold rising to heaven.I came with this cathedral design. I have a great job to persuade Cubby and director Guy Hamilton at first. "

Saltzman disliked the design's resemblance to the prison, but Hamilton quite liked it because it was built. Fort Knox's financial superintendent then sent a letter to Adam and the production team, praising him on their imaginative picture of the vault. United Artists even has letters offensive from people wondering, "how could a British film unit be allowed into Fort Knox?" Adam remembered, "In the end I'm glad that I was not allowed into Fort Knox, because it allows me to do whatever I want." In fact, the set was considered so realistic that Pinewood Studios had to post a 24-hour guard to keep gold bars from being stolen. The other original element is the atomic device, which Hamilton requested the special effects crew to get inventive, not realistic. Technician Bert Luxford describes the end result as looking like "engineering work", with spinning machines, chronometer and other decorative pieces.

Effects

Hamilton commented, "Before [ Goldfinger ], gadgets are not really part of the Bond world." Production designer Ken Adam chose DB5 because it is the latest version of Aston Martin (in Bond novel driving DB Mark III, which he considers the most sophisticated car in the UK). The company was initially reluctant, but ultimately convinced to make a product placement deal. In the script, the car was armed only with a smoke screen, but each crew member began suggesting gadgets to install: Hamilton pictured the rotating number plate because he had gotten plenty of parking tickets, while his stepson suggested an ejector chair (which he saw on television). The gadget near the lamp that will drop the sharp spikes is replaced with an oil dispenser because the producers assume the original can be easily copied by the viewers. Adam and engineer John Stears overhauled the prototype Aston Martin DB5 coupe, installing this and other features into the car for six weeks. The scene where the DB5 crash was filmed twice, with the second retrieval used in the movie. The first pickup, where the car passes through a fake wall, can be seen in the trailer. Two of the gadgets were not installed in the car: the wheels that destroyed the wheel, which was inspired by Ben-Hur train ', were all made in the studio; and the ejector chair uses a chair thrown by the pressurized air, with the doll sitting on it. Other cars without gadgets are created, which are finally equipped for publicity purposes. It's reused for Thunderball .

Lasers did not exist in 1959 when the book was written, nor was there a high-power industrial laser at the time the film was made, making them something new. In the novel, Goldfinger uses a circular saw to try to kill Bond, but the filmmaker turns him into a laser to make the film feel fresher. Hamilton immediately thought to give the laser a place in the movie story as Goldfinger's preferred weapon. Ken Adam was advised on a laser design by two Harvard scientists who helped design a water reactor at Dr No . The laser beam itself is an optical effect added to post-production. For a close-up where the fire cut metal, technician Bert Luxford heats the metal with a torch from beneath the table where the Bond is tied.

The opening credit sequence was designed by graphic artist Robert Brownjohn, featuring clips from all the James Bond movies so far projected on Margaret Nolan's body. The design is inspired by seeing the light projecting on people's bodies when they wake up and leave the cinema.

Visually, the film uses many gold motifs for the symbolic treatment of parallel gold in the novel. All of Goldfinger's women in this film except their private jet pilot (black hair) and stewardess (who is Korean) are redheaded, or blond, including Pussy Galore and his Flying Circus crew (both Tilly Masterson and Pussy characters specifically have black hair in novel). Goldfinger has a yellow Rolls-Royce with the number plate "AU 1" ("Au" is a chemical symbol for gold), and also sporting yellow or gold items or clothing in every movie scene, including a golden gun, when disguised as a colonel. Bonds tied to a cutting stool with a golden sheet on it (as Goldfinger indicated to him) before it almost became a laser. Goldfinger's factory mate in the film wore a yellow belt, Pussy Galore twice wore a metallic gold vest, and Pussy pilots all wore yellow sunburst on their uniforms. Mrs. Goldfinger Jetstar, Mei-Lei, wears a golden cover and a gold accented sheath. The concept of a recurring gold theme that runs through film is a design aspect conceived and executed by Ken Adam and art director Peter Murton.

The model jet used for wide shooting from Lockheed JetStar Goldfinger is painted differently on the right side for use as a presidential plane that crashes at the end of the film. Several cars were supplied by Ford Motor Company including Mustangs driven by Tilly Masterson, Ford Country Squire's wagon stations used to transport Bond from the airport to the stud ranch, the Ford Thunderbird driven by Felix Leiter, and Lincoln Continental where Oddjob killed Solo. Continental has unplugged the engine before it is placed in the crusher of the car, and the crushed car has to be partially cut so that Ford Falcon Ranchero's bed where it is stored can support the weight.

Music

Since the release date for the movie has been predetermined and the filming has finished near that date, John Barry received some edits directly from the cutting room floor, not as a result of editing, and printing some sequences from the rough initial print.. Barry describes his work on Goldfinger as his favorite, saying it was "the first time I have full control, write a score and a song". Music tracks, according to the theme of gold and metal film, use brass, and also metal bells. The movie score is described as "naughty and obscene" with "sassy sexiness for it".

Goldfinger started the tradition of Bond theme songs that were introduced above the opening title sequence, the style of songs from the pop genre and using popular artists. [Although the title song, sung by Matt Monro, in From Russia with Love introduced in several phrases on Bond's first appearance, the full rendition of the sound track only begins for the last scene in the waters. in Venice and through the following final title.] Shirley Bassey established the opening title tradition that gave her a different style for "Goldfinger", and will sing theme songs for two future Bond movies, Diamonds Forever and < i> Moonraker . The song Goldfinger was composed by John Barry, with lyrics by Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse. These lyrics are described in a contemporary newspaper as "childish," but what remains undisturbed is the world-wide interpretation of Shirley Bassey. Like the score, this arrangement uses a lot of brass, meets well Bassey's signature, and incorporates a Bond theme from Dr. There is no. Newley recorded an early version, which was even considered to be included in the film. The soundtrack album topped the Billboard 200 chart, and reached the 14th spot on the UK Albums Charts. The singles for "Goldfinger" were also successful, reaching 8 on Hot 100 and 21 on the UK charts.

"6 Underground" a song by the British band Sneaker Pimps, from their 1996 studio album Becoming X using a melodic harp at the beginning of the song "Golden Girl" from Goldfinger (This song is playing when scene when Bond found the corpse of Jill Masterson smeared with gold paint).

Release and acceptance

Goldfinger aired on Odeon Leicester Square in London on September 17, 1964, with a general release in the UK the following day. Leicester Square is filled with travelers and fans and the police can not control the crowd due to the number of people. A set of glass doors to the cinema was inadvertently damaged and the show premiered ten minutes late due to confusion. The premiere of the United States took place on December 21, 1964, at DeMille Theater in New York. The film opens in 64 theaters in 41 cities and eventually peaks on 485 screens. Goldfinger is temporarily banned in Israel because of Gert FrÃÆ'¶be's connection to the Nazi Party. The ban, however, was lifted many years later when a Jewish family openly thanked the FrÃÆ'¶¶be for protecting them from persecution during World War II.

Promotions

The film marketing campaign began shortly after filming began in Florida, with Eon allowing photographers to go to the set to shoot Shirley Eaton painted with gold. Robert Brownjohn, who designed the opening credits, is responsible for posters for advertising campaigns, which also use actress Margaret Nolan. To promote the film, two Aston Martin DB5s were exhibited at the 1964 New York World Exhibition and dubbed the "world's most famous car"; consequently, car sales increased. Corgi Toys started a decade-long relationship with the Bond franchise, producing toy cars, which became the biggest selling toy in 1964. The success of the film also led to licensed tie-in clothing, dress shoes, action figures, board games, jigsaw puzzles, lunch, toys, recording albums, trade cards, and slot cars.

Critical response

Goldfinger is generally a critical success. Derek Prouse of The Sunday Times says Goldfinger that it's "very well engineered.

A reviewer from The Times said "All the devices are very sophisticated, and so are the movies: the tradition of self-ridicule continues, albeit sometimes beyond itself", also saying that "It is mixed as before, just over "Connery's acting efforts are ignored by this observer, who does say:" There are some very good parts played by Mr. Bernard Lee and Mr. Harold Sakata: Mr. Gert FrÃÆ'¶be is really good in a difficult part of Goldfinger. "Donald Zec, writing for the Daily Mirror said of the film that" Ken Adam's brilliant design set, Guy Hamilton's direction is very interesting, Connery is better than ever, and the titles resting on the lustrous body of a girl in inspired gold. "

Penelope Gilliatt, who wrote in The Observer, said the film had "ketakberat spoofing" and it was "unreasonable, funny and vile". The Guardian says that Goldfinger is a "two hours of unbreakable fantasy", also said that the film was "the most interesting, the most amazing Bond films: garbage of the gods ", adding that Connery" is better than ever as Bond ". Alan Dent, writing for The Illustrated London News , thought Goldfinger "even taut, louder, more witty, more clever and more impossible than ' From Russia with Love
[a] farrago brilliant ", adding that Connery" can not be described ".

Philip Oakes of The Sunday Telegraph said the film was "fascinating in its technical ingenuity," while Time says it "is a very exaggerated thriller." Bosley Crowther, writing in The New York Times less enthusiastic about the film, says it's "very clear" that Bond is becoming increasingly dependent on gadgets with little emphasis on "the lush flush of fascinating females.", Though he admitted that "Connery plays hero with a very cool commando air." He saves his praise to other actors in the film, saying that "Gert FrÃÆ'¶be is very fat and wild as a bad investor, and Honor Blackman is very cold and conspicuous as an aeronautical accomplice last. "

In the Guide to Movie Theaters , Danny Peary writes that Goldfinger is "the best of James Bond movies starring Sean Connery... There's lots of humor, gimmicks, excitement, golf contests the entertaining yet tense between Bond and Goldfinger, a thrilling thrill to death between Bond and Oddjob and Bond and Goldfinger, and an intriguing central crime... Eaton's most pleasant part, but too bad no longer and that FrÃÆ'¶be's Goldfinger, a heavy intellectuals but nimble in the Sydney Greenstreet tradition, never appearing in another Bond movie. "

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun Times stated this as his favorite Bond movie and then added it to his "Great Movie" list.

Film-critic aggregator Rotten Tomatoes found 96% positive reviews based on 56 reviews and an average score of 8.6 out of 10 and a consensus that read, "Goldfinger is where James Bond is as we know he comes to focus - it features one of the most famous lines of 007 ("A martini, shaken, not stirred") and various gadgets that will become the 'trademark' series, binding with From Russia with Love (Also 96%) and Dr. None (96%) as the highest rated James Bond movie.

Impact and inheritance

The Goldfinger script becomes the template for the next Bond movie. This is the first of a series that shows Bond rely heavily on technology, as well as the first showing a pre-credit sequence with only tangential links to the main story - in this case allowing Bond to get to Miami after the mission. Also introduced for the first of many appearances was a briefing in Q-branch, allowing viewers to see gadgets under development. Subsequent films in the Bond series follow most of the basic structure of Goldfinger, featuring a henchman with certain characteristics, a Bond girl who was murdered by a villain, a huge emphasis on gadgets and an approach which is more like a tongue, although it tries to balance action and comedy.

Goldfinger has been described as probably "the highest Bond image and consistently praises them all" and after Goldfinger , Bond "became a real phenomenon." The success of the film encourages the emergence of many other works in James Bond's espionage and parody genre, like the movie The Beatles Help! in 1965 and the joke of Bond's first Ian Fleming novel, Casino Royale , in 1967. Indeed, it has been said that Goldfinger is the cause of the explosion in the espionage films on 1960s, so much so that in 1966, cinema goers were offering no fewer than 22 examples of secret agent entertainment, including some striking attempts to start competing series, with James Coburn starring as Derek Flint in the film Our Man Flint and Dean Martin as Matt Helm ".

Even in the Bond canon, Goldfinger is recognized; the 22nd Bond film, Quantum of Solace, included a tribute to the death scene of the gold body paint by having the character of a dead woman in a naked bed, covered in crude oil. Outside the Bond movie, elements of Goldfinger, like Oddjob and the use of his hat as a weapon, Bond releases his dry clothes to show the tuxedo underneath, and the laser scene has been wiped out or faked in his works. such as True Lies , The Simpsons and the Austin Powers series. The US television program MythBusters explores many scenarios seen in the film, such as deposition deposition in a plane at altitude, death by full body painting, ejector seat in the car and using tuxedo under dry clothes.

The success of the film caused Bond's novel Ian Fleming to receive increased popularity and nearly 6 million books sold in the UK in 1964, including 964,000 copies of Goldfinger. Between 1962 and 1967, a total of 22,792,000 Bond novels were sold.

Video games 2012 007 Legends has a level based on Goldfinger.
