She might not have feelings for Bond, but will help her change her mind? Bond then electrocutes him with a live wire that had been previously severed.
Bond prepares to defuse the bomb, and just before he is about to pull some wires, the bomb defuser has arrived, and turns the right switch, disarming the bomb with the clock reading '' seconds remaining. Bond then flies off to meet the President, but he finds that Goldfinger has hijacked the plane and is planning to fly to Cuba. After a struggle, Goldfinger fires his gun, breaking the window, and he is sucked out of the plane.
Bond quips that he is flying with his golden harp. The plane goes down, but Bond and Pussy escape on parachutes. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman turned to Goldfinger as the third Bond film. No and From Russia with Love combined, and was the first James Bond film classified as a box-office blockbuster. Goldfinger was chosen with the American cinema market in mind, as the previous films had concentrated on the Caribbean and Europe. Broccoli and Saltzman turned instead to Guy Hamilton to direct; Hamilton, who had turned down directing Dr.
No , felt that he needed to make Bond less of a "superman" by making the villains seem more powerful. Goldfinger saw the return of two crew members who were not involved with From Russia with Love : stunt coordinator Bob Simmons and production designer Ken Adam. Both played crucial roles in the development of Goldfinger , with Simmons choreographing the fight sequence between Bond and Oddjob in the vault of Fort Knox, which was not just seen as one of the best Bond fights, but also "must stand as one of the great cinematic combats" whilst Adam's efforts on Goldfinger were "luxuriantly baroque" and have resulted in the film being called "one of his finest pieces of work.
Richard Maibaum, who wrote the previous films, returned to adapt the seventh James Bond novel. Maibaum fixed the novel's heavily criticized plot hole, where Goldfinger actually attempts to empty Fort Knox. In the film, Bond notes it would take twelve days for Goldfinger to steal the gold, before the villain reveals he actually intends to irradiate it with the then topical concept of a Red Chinese atomic bomb. However, Harry Saltzman disliked the first draft, and brought in Paul Dehn to revise it.
Hamilton said Dehn "brought out the British side of things". Connery disliked his draft, so Maibaum returned. Dehn also suggested the pre-credit sequence to be an action scene with no relevance to the actual plot. Wolf Mankowitz, an un-credited screenwriter on Dr. No , suggested the scene where Oddjob puts his car into a car crusher to dispose of a dead body. Because of the quality of work of Maibaum and Dehn, the script and outline for Goldfinger became the blueprint for future Bond films.
Principal photography on Goldfinger commenced on 20 January in Miami, Florida , at the Fontainebleau Hotel ; the crew was small, consisting only of Hamilton, Broccoli, Adam, and cinematographer Ted Moore. Miami also served as location to the scenes involving Felix's pursuit of Oddjob.
After five days in Florida, production moved to England. The primary location was Pinewood Studios , home to among other sets, a recreation of the Fontainebleau, the South American city of the pre-title sequence, and both Goldfinger's estate and factory. London Southend Airport was used for the scene where Goldfinger flies to Switzerland. Ian Fleming visited the set of Goldfinger in April ; he died a few months later in August , shortly before the film's release.
The second unit filmed in Kentucky, and these shots were edited into scenes filmed at Pinewood. Principal photography then moved to Switzerland , with the car chase being filmed at the small curves roads near Realp, the exterior of the Pilatus Aircraft factory in Stans serving as Goldfinger's factory, and Tilly Masterson's attempt to snipe Goldfinger being shot in the Furka pass.
Filming wrapped on 11 July at Andermatt, after nineteen weeks of shooting. Just three weeks prior to the film's release, Hamilton and a small team, which included Broccoli's stepson and future producer Michael G. Wilson as assistant director, went for last minute shoots in Kentucky. Extra people were hired for post-production issues such as dubbing so the film could be finished in time. Broccoli earned permission to film in the Fort Knox area with the help of his friend, Lt.
Colonel Charles Russhon. To shoot Pussy Galore's Flying Circus gassing the soldiers, the pilots were only allowed to fly above feet. Hamilton recalled this was "hopeless", and they flew at about feet, "and the military went absolutely ape".
The scenes of people fainting involved the same set of soldiers moving to different locations. For security reasons, the filmmakers were not allowed to film inside the United States Bullion Depository , although exterior photography was permitted. All sets for the interiors of the building were designed and built from scratch at Pinewood Studios. The filmmakers had no clue as to what the interior of the depository looked like, so Ken Adam 's imagination provided the idea of gold stacked upon gold behind iron bars.
Saltzman disliked the design's resemblance to a prison, but Hamilton liked it enough that it was built. The controller of Fort Knox later sent a letter to Adam and the production team, complimenting them on their imaginative depiction of the vault.
United Artists even had irate letters from people wondering "how could a British film unit be allowed inside Fort Knox? Technician Bert Luxford described the end result as looking like an "engineering work", with a spinning engine, a chronometer and other decorative pieces.
Hamilton remarked, "Before Goldfinger , gadgets were not really a part of Bond's world. III , which he considered England's most sophisticated car. The company was initially reluctant, but were finally convinced to a product placement deal.
In the script, the car was only armed with smoke screen, but every crew member began suggesting gadgets to install in it: Hamilton conceived the revolving license plate because he had been getting lots of parking tickets, while his stepson suggested the ejector seat which he saw on television.
A gadget near the lights that would drop sharp nails was replaced with an oil dispenser because the producers thought the original could be easily copied by viewers - although this basic idea did eventually get used in Bond's BMW iL in Tomorrow Never Dies. Adam and engineer John Stears overhauled the prototype of the Aston Martin DB5 coupe, installing these and other features into a car over six weeks.
The scene where the DB5 crashes was filmed twice, with the second take being used in the film. The first take, in which the car drives through the fake wall, can be seen in the trailer. Two of the gadgets were not installed in the car: the wheel-destroying spikes, inspired by Ben-Hur ' s scythed chariots, were entirely made on studio; and the ejector seat used a seat thrown by compressed air, with a dummy sat atop it. Another car without the gadgets was created, which was eventually furnished for publicity purposes.
It was reused for Thunderball. Lasers did not exist in when the book was written, nor did high-power industrial lasers at the time the film was made, making them a novelty. In the novel, Goldfinger uses a circular saw to try to kill Bond, but the filmmakers changed it to a laser to make the film feel more fresh. Hamilton immediately thought of giving the laser a place in the film's story as Goldfinger's weapon of choice.
Without saying a word, Oddjob is both menacing and evil; he could send a shiver down the spine with a mere look. That said, his apparent invincibility to everything except raw electricity was a bit absurd and takes away from his character. Bond, I expect you to die! Due partly to the aforementioned line as well as his voice even though it was dubbed and his plot to detonate a nuclear device inside Fort Knox, Goldfinger is one of the most memorable villains of the series.
Ken Adams also helped the cause by doing a brilliant job with the sets: especially those related to Auric. Bad guys aside, Goldfinger features Pussy Galore, the woman with the most sexual name of the entire series. The movie also featured Jill Masterson laying naked, dead and covered with gold paint: an image so iconic that it landed her on the cover of Life magazine. The movie also gave us our first look at Q's laboratory with the gags in the background as well as his gadgets for Bond.
Finally, Connery has achieved the perfect Bond character and along with a great script, supporting cast, and score, he made the best performance of his Bond career. Henchmen: Oddjob, Harold Sakata. She is asphyxiated after her entire body was covered in gold paint. Colonel Smithers Played by Richard Vernon Smithers is the distinguished representative of the Bank of England who informs Bond and M about the dangers of Goldfinger's international gold-smuggling operations. As bait for Goldfinger, Smithers lends a rare gold bar which originated from a lost hoard of Nazi bullion.
The plot is far-fetched and, though still more realistic than future Goldfinger clones including Moonraker and A View To A Kill , was the starting point for the absurdity of later movies. As the film that all other Bond movies would be judged on, it would have been nice to see it more rooted in reality like Form Russia With Love. Still, the movie is classic Bond and not a bad choice for the gold standard of the series.
First mention of Newfoundland First Bond film to be nominated for an Oscar First use of the bulletproof vest anywhere. Featured in Q's lab, this invention was years ahead of its time and long before police officers used them.
This is in the same sequence that Tilly Masterson is killed.

Gert Frobe's voice was dubbed by an English actor. Honor Blackman was actually a trained expert in Judo. Already pushing the lines of decency with Pussy Galore's name, Bond's introduction to her was changed. In the original script the line was: Pussy : I'm Pussy Galore.
Bond : I know, but what's your name? However, the scene was later changed to bond's current response of "I must be dreaming! The movie intrigued audiences everywhere. The producers got over letters from fans wondering why they were allowed to film in Fort Knox while the president wasn't even allowed in. A 24 hour guard had to be placed by the Fort Knox set so people couldn't steal the fake gold bars. Harold Sakata sustained serious injuries from the electrocution of his character because he refused to let go until the director called cut, despite his pain.
Over 75 percent of all moviegoers worldwide have seen Goldfinger at least once. Gert Frobe was a child prodigy at the violin. The famous ending where the bomb is defused in seconds was actually changed. In the original version that ran all over Europe and the rest of the world, the bomb was defused with seconds left; hence Bond's line "Three more ticks and Mr.
Goldfinger would've hit the jackpot.
