Goldfinger (Blu-Ray/Ultimate Edition)
|
| | | Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman Present Sean Connery as Ian Fleming's James Bond 007.
From the opening bomb blast outside a steamy nightclub to a last-minute escape from the president's personal jet, James Bond's third screen adventure is an exhilarating, pulse-pounding thrill-ride! Sean Connery takes command as Agent 007 and faces off with a maniacal villain bent on destroying all the gold in Fort Knox -- and obliterating the world economy! Featuring such memorable characters as pilot Pussy Galore and hatchet man Oddjob, Goldfinger is "the best of all the Bonds" (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times)!
"...with some tough action and the introduction of such memorable gadgets as Bond's Aston Martin car, there's never a dull moment..." Almar Haflidason, BBC Online
"...the perfect blend of action, adventure, gunplay, fisticuffs, gadgetry (that Aston Martin!), romance, derring-do, and just about everything else." Christopher Null, FilmCritic.com
"Entertaining, exciting James Bond adventure...Full of ingenious gadgets and nefarious villains..." Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide
"The third entry in the Bond series...Goldfinger proved to be the one that turned the franchise into a worldwide phenomena." Pam Grady, Reel.com
"If spy-action films ever had a classic, then this is it." Steve Rhodes, Internet Reviews
Editor's Note
In James Bond's third cinematic adventure, the dangerously suave spy (Sean Connery) must stop the criminal capitalist Auric Goldfinger (Gert Frobe) from contaminating Fort Knox's gold with atomic radiation. Aiding the villain is the alluring Pussy Galore (Honor Blackman) and the imposing Oddjob (Harold Sakata). Bond, on the other hand, is armed with his trademark charm and, of course, a slew of gadgets, courtesy of Q (Desmond Llewelyn). Encountering the usual bevy of beautiful women and perilous traps, 007 sets out for America to foil Goldfinger's financial fiasco. Based on Ian Fleming's 1959 novel, GOLDFINGER marks the appearance of a more carefree, wisecracking Bond and is widely considered to be one of the best films in the series. In fact, with stylized elements such as the gold-painted girl, the wince-inducing laser beam, Oddjob's razor-sharp bowler hat, and Bond's modified Aston Martin car, the film is quite possibly the most memorable Bond outing, and would be famously parodied decades later in the AUSTIN POWERS series, particularly GOLDMEMBER.
