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

By	A.Viewer - See all my reviews

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.

2.0 out of 5 stars The Pits, 23 Jun 2008

By	Jl Adcock "John Adcock" (Ashtead UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This could be Roger Moore's worst film, if not it's certainly one of them. Steeped in the macho world of Seventies gold mining in South Africa, big Rog plays Rod Slater - a womanising, ambitious shift manager who likes big cigars and wearing his safari jacket open to the navel as often as possible. Down the mine, he fights truculent workers and uncovers a fiendish plot hatched by Bradford Dillman and John Gielgud that is so daft that even The Persuaders would have rejected it for a storyline.

Add an aged Ray Milland stomping about, gooey-eyed Suzanna York, and the most unlikely ending featuring a Rolls Royce swerving around in some gravel while a gold mine floods, and you have a perfect example of just what audiences in the 1970's had to endure as top class entertainment.
