Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Dry as ice, dripping with deadpan witticisms, only Sean Connery's Bond would dare to disparage the Beatles, that other 1964 phenomenon. No one but Connery can believably seduce women so effortlessly, kill with almost as much ease, and then pull another bottle of Dom Perignon 53 out of the fridge. Goldfinger contains many of the most memorable scenes in the Bond series: gorgeous Shirley Eaton (as Jill Masterson) coated in gold paint by evil Auric Goldfinger and deposited in Bond's bed; silent Oddjob, flipping a razor-sharp bowler like a Frisbee to sever heads; our hero spread-eagled on a table while a laser beam moves threateningly toward his crotch. Honor Blackman's Pussy Galore is the prototype for the series' rash of man-hating supermodels. And Desmond Llewelyn reprises his role as Q, giving Bond what is still his most impressive car, a snazzy little number that fires off smoke screens, punctures the tyres of vehicles on the chase, and boasts a handy ejector seat. Goldfinger's two climaxes, inside Fort Knox and aboard a private plane, have to be seen to be believed.--Raphael Shargel, Amazon.com--

On the DVD: Featuring interviews with Honor Blackman, Shirley Eaton, the late Desmond Llewelyn and most of the surviving core cast and crew members, great on-set footage (Blackman and Connery look like they clearly had the hots for each other even when the camera weren't rolling) and a strong argument about how this firmed up the gadget-orientated, thrills-and-spills formula for the franchise, John Cork's "making of" featurette for this DVD is one of the most rewarding in this series. The two commentary tracks have moderately interesting observations by director Guy Hamilton, the cast and crew (many of their comments recycled from the documentary), and on both Bond superfan-and-author Lee Pfeiffer filling in blanks and explaining in exhaustive detail the history of the Aston Martin DB5 that first appeared in this film. Also included is an open-ended 1964 interview with Sean Connery, designed so that American radio disc jockeys could pretend they had an exclusive interview with the star, in which he extols the series' "sadism for the family" among other things. --Leslie Felperin



Synopsis

The world's top gold smuggler has a plan to explode an atom bomb in Fort Knox to contaminate America's reserves and increase the value of his own gold. James Bond, Secret Agent 007 and a handful of beautiful girls devise a plan to defeat him.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb DVD and an Excellent film, 11 Jun 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Goldfinger [DVD] (DVD)
The DVD is extraordinarily good, with two informative commentaries. The two documentaries cover similar ground, but one incorporates a fascinating glimspe at a screen test for the title role. The picture quality is excellent for such an old film, and the sound is crisp. The film has all the ingredients of Gadgets, girls and Vodkatini's. 'Goldfinger' is often sited as the best Bond, however while the film introduces all the dominant themes of the series, it lacks the humour and sense of fun in all the Seventies Bonds. People should except that Moore and Connery are brilliant Bonds, but in different ways.

5.0 out of 5 stars I must be dreaming..., 11 Oct 2003
By hmcni "hmcni" (Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Goldfinger [DVD] (DVD)
This is a must for any self-respecting Bond fan - the ultimate in the series!

Pussy Galore has to be the best Bond-girl, Gert Frobe is the best villain and Connery, of course, is the best Bond - no contest there!

Be blown away by the power of Shirley Bassey's voice, by the fantastic plot, the wonderful script, great casting and most definitely by 007's sexy smile (especially in that infamous aeroplane scene with Pussy Galore).

This is the Bond film with the best 007 to villain repartee -
Bond: "Do you expect me to talk?"
Goldfinger: "No Mr Bond, I expect you to die!"

Buy it now and you won't ever have to wait for it to come on TV ever again! As soon as you get it delivered, put it in the DVD player, sit back and be sure that you won't be disappointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars James Bond - Goldfinger, 23 Jan 2003
This review is from: Goldfinger [DVD] (DVD)
This Quite simply is the best James Bond film of all time. An excellent actor plays goldfinger, with an even more excellent voice over. Oddjob is probably the most memorable henchman ever, and then connery is at his peak. Add to that one of the best plots of all time and the finale is fantastic. And then we cant forgot the 3 gorgeous bond women, pussy galore and the master's twins Jill and Tilly. Please buy this film
