"Goldfinger"

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

INHO this is the absolute best of all the Bond films. The usuual supporting characters are in place, and the film has a great villain,
a great plot, beautiful women, and that wonderful customized Aston Martin. I have commented before on the symmetry of the opening scenes (the electrocution and the diver flipping) and the closing scenes (Odd Job's electrocution and the wounded soldier falling off the railing). The film mamkers greatly improved what credibility the story has by having Goldfinger attempt to make the gold radioactive, rather than carry it off in trucks as Fleming had it in the book.
Now Bond films are all CGI and chop chop non stop action. This one even has time for a leisurely game of golf!
Some dirt and grain are evident on the latest DVD, indicating that the recent 4K digitizing for high def version will be an improvement.
