James Bond affronte ici une espèce de Václav Kopta avec 20 cm et 50 kg de plus, mais la plupart du temps sous la forme d'une guerre psychologique plutôt que dans une action palpitante. Pour moi, les meilleures scènes sont celles avec les karts et le golf et ce qui suit. Et le majordome coréen muet au chapeau tueur était parfait !

007__#3__For me the main draw is the casting of Goldfinger (the excellent Swiss Gert Frobe) and his henchman Oddjob, played by wrestler Harold Sakata – I'll never forget his killer bowler hat. The main villain, as one of the members of the criminal organization Spectre, which accompanied the Bond franchise from Dr. No to You Only Live Twice, does not want to take over the world, but thanks to an ingenious plan "only" to get as rich as possible, which makes the whole story more believable. Some of the scenes have aged, but otherwise I'm satisfied, though I don’t think this is the best Bond movie.

The third is the best. The most original Bond film of all, and indeed Guy Hamilton's glorious (and unbeatable) entry into the 007 series. What's so great about this Bond movie? Purity of style, a polished screenplay, the combining of all the existing attributes of Fleming's super agent into a tasty and balanced mixture of humor, action, tension and visual attractiveness. Sean Connery performs a finished concert with perfectly tuned instruments – charm, cynicism and traditional sharpness. Opponent Auric Goldfinger (Gert Fröbe) is a douche at first glance, but his "flourishing" into one of the greatest criminal minds of all time is all the better... Oddjob? An insurmountable villain with an insurmountable storm on his head. The story is not enlightening, but as has already been said, it is well done, designed and filmed. Hamilton, in particular, added much more dynamism to the action sequences than the excellent (and slightly orthodox) stylist Young, and thus established a new form of James Bond, a form which the creators still use today. An ageless classic! ___ A few tidbits: Gert Fröbe was chosen based on a role in which he played a pederast. He could not speak a word of English, although it was promised that he could to the production team, so he babbled in an indeterminate language during the filming and was later overdubbed. The interior of Fort Knox is pure architectural fiction based on Hamilton's idea of a "temple of gold". The exteriors of the world's largest treasury were filmed at London's Pinewood Studios. ___ Bond song: "Goldfinger" (Shirley Bassey)

Among all the Bond movies of the era of the first three actors, this one is my favorite. Sean Connery was in his best form and faced the most devilish villain, who even stole the title of the movie for himself, following the example of Dr. No. The best thing about it is, of course, that even sixty years after it was made, it would easily stand up to today's competition, even though the passage of time has started to leave its mark even on the more extravagant scenes.

The third and, as far as the later development of the series is concerned, also the most important 007 movie adventure. All the aspects that come to mind under the term Bond movie were established right here by Guy Hamilton. Above all, the entire plot is presented with significant hyperbole and completely diverted from the books the movies were based on. And this is where he killed the whole series of movies for me. I found the more realistic style of From Russia with Love much more pleasing. What has to be praised is the brilliant opening song. Connery’s charisma and overall entertainment are both there. Just that after this movie Bond will never be the same again. For some just what they want, for me a huge disappointment.
