Synopsis

In GOLD, a ruthless tycoon begins manipulating the price of gold on the world market, hoping to shift the odds in his favour. To further improve his chances, he also decides to sabotage one of South Africa's richest mines by having it flooded. However, the mine's foreman, Rod Slater (Roger Moore), has no intention of standing by and letting him do that. Along with his assistant, Slater tries to figure out a way of saving the mine, its wealth, and the thousands who work there. The film also features Susannah York, Ray Milland, and John Gielgud.

4.0 out of 5 stars When men were men and only the villains didn't smoke, 12 Dec 2007
By Trevor Willsmer (London, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
Gold certainly comes over better in widescreen than it does in the cropped and edited TV and Public Domain prints that have been floating around for years. The first of Roger Moore's trio of South African shot adventures (along with Shout at the Devil and The Wild Geese), it's very much of its time: this being the mid-70s, the villains are easy to spot - they're the ones who wash their hands, don't smoke and aren't any good in the sack - while the good guys aren't afraid of a little dirt or sleeping with the boss's wife. Along with Moore the credits are littered with many of the regular Bond team most of whom would go through the same flooding-the-mine routine again in A View To a Kill - but then, since the film's hiking-up-the-price-of-gold premise is borrowed from Goldfinger (albeit a tad more credible than setting off a nuclear bomb in Fort Knox), there's no real cause for complaint. Like Elmer Bernstein and Jimmy Helms' title song, it's not subtle but it's an entertaining two hours if it catches you in the right mood.

Finally available in its original widescreen ratio after years of terrible fullframe releases, there are no extras apart from a poorly reproduced stills gallery.

4.0 out of 5 stars Widescreen at last!, 4 Jun 2007
At last this 1970's adventure film, from Wilbur Smith's novel "Gold Mine", gets a widescreen release, with only poor quality, full screen releases being previously available, including several different but equally poor US versions.

The film is now in its original 2.35:1 ratio, anamorphically enhanced and with a pretty decent transfer. It has 20 chapter stops, but no extras other than a rather pointless ten picture "image gallery".

Elmer Bernstein's score is particularly note-worthy and would well deserve a CD release.

3.0 out of 5 stars 3 stars for the film one for the DVD, 11 Oct 2008
By Empe (Italy) - See all my reviews
A old classic movie, betrayed by this poor DVD version. The plot is an adaptament of a Wilbur Smith's classic book ("perhaps" non between the bests). BTW why make so "bad" movies from very good action books (like Smith's or Cussler's books) ???. This film has a good cast and good action scenes (for that time). But the DVD in too poor, expecially for for audio and subtitles lacking
