James Bond is assigned to track
the movements of billionaire Auric Goldfinger, whom MI6 suspects of smuggling
large quantities of gold in and out of England. In Miami, Bond seduces Goldfinger's
gorgeous confederate Jill Masterson, who helps 007 humiliate her boss by exposing
him as a cheat at cards. For her betrayal, Jill dies a horrifying death: she
is coated from head to toe in gold paint - a grisly warning sign to Bond to
stay out of Goldfinger's affairs. In a high-stakes golf game, Bond - posing
as a shady character with access to a fortune in Nazi gold - again humiliates
Goldfinger 
after
finding him a cheating. Goldfinger issues one more warning to Bond to keep
away by having his manservant Oddjob decapitate a statue with a razor-brimmed
bowler hat.
Bond follows Goldfinger to his
Swiss headquarters and encounters Tilly Masterson, the vengeful sister of
Jill who is determined to assassinate Goldfinger. Like her sister, she also
dies at the hands of Oddjob. Bond is captured and brought to Goldfinger's
Kentucky estate where he discovers that his adversary is planning an outrageous
scheme to increase the value of his own gold by using an atomic bomb to contaminate
Fort Knox. With time running out, Bond manages to seduce Pussy Galore, the
personal pilot of Goldfinger, who alerts the US government. Goldfinger's forces
are defeated in an intense battle during which Bond manages to electrocute
Oddjob and deactivate the atomic bomb with only seconds to spare. Bond later
confronts Goldfinger abord a plane that the defeated megalomaniac has hijacked.
In the ensuing melee, Goldfinger is sucked out of the window to his death,
while Bond and Pussy manage to parachute to safety.
Review
Another Sean Connery classic, containing all the Bond elements: a formidable
villain, a seemingly indestructible henchman, some brilliant gadgetry and
a whole host of action scenes with which only the name 'James Bond' could
be associated. 10/10, and has to be a close contender for best Bond film ever.

of the original Bond film, most of which was used in the lavish sets such
as the full-scale model of Fort Knox (at the time the most expensive set built
by Pinewood Studios).
