SYNOPSIS
In the third James Bond adventure, the dangerously suave spy's objective is to terminate criminal capitalist Auric Goldfinger (and his assistants Pussy Galore and Oddjob) and foil his plan to contaminate Fort Knox's gold with atomic radiation, a strategy that would dramatically increase the value of Goldfinger's own hoard. With the help of the usual bevy of beautiful women and ingenious gadgets, 007 spoils Goldfinger's fun. Based on Ian Fleming's 1959 novel. The laser release includes interviews, trailers, photos, and more.

Quotes from
James Bond: [to Pussy] You know, he kills little girls like you.
Pussy Galore: Little boys, too.
Pussy Galore: [pointing a gun at Bond, who has just emerged from the airplane lavatory] We'll be landing in twenty minutes. Do you want to play it easy, or the hard way? And this isn't a tranquilizer gun.
James Bond: Now, Pussy, you know a lot more about planes than guns. That's a Smith and Wesson 45, and if you fire at me at this close range, the bullet will pass through me and the fuselage like a blowtorch through butter. The cabin will depressurize, and we'll both be sucked into outer space together. If that's how you want to enter the United States, you're welcome. As for me, I prefer the easy way.
Pussy Galore: That's very sensible.
James Bond: Besides, there's always so much going on around Mr. Goldfinger. It would be a shame not to accept his hospitality.
Pussy Galore: I'm sure he'll be happy to see you, too.
[touches the gun barrel to his chin]
Pussy Galore: You like close shaves, don't you?
James Bond: You're a woman of many parts, Pussy.

Facts about
As with many car shots in movies, the sun visors have been removed from Bond's Aston Martin, but the mounting holes were not covered and they are visible on the car in shots above the windscreen.
Gert Fröbe spoke very little English, so Michael Collins dubbed his voice. Director Guy Hamilton instructed him to speak quickly which would assist the looping. A line in the film says of Goldfinger: "He's a Brit, but doesn't sound like it." Due to the dubbing, this is not accurate. In the Switzerland factory scene, Fröbe's mouth does not move, thereby making the dubbing obvious. Reportedly though, Fröbe was acting in some English which reduces the awareness of the dubbing. In the film's trailer, however, Fröbe's own voice is heard when Goldfinger tells James, "Choose your next witticism carefully, Mr. Bond, it may be your last," and when meeting with the mobsters, when he says, "Except crime!" Fröbe's own voice can be heard in the German dubbed version of the film, too.
