1964 UA 112 min.

Bond, James Bond. The best of the gadget-filled 007 extravaganzas, GOLDFINGER represents the consolidation of the wildly profitable Bond formula. For the first time, the well-loved conventions of the series are all in place, and they jell perfectly. This third Bond movie pits the hero against one of his more memorable adversaries, Goldfinger (Gert Frobe), a gold-hording, power-hungry maniac who plans to detonate a small atomic device at Fort Knox, in hopes of becoming the Richest Man Alive!!!
