Goldfinger

Goldfinger (1964) starring Sean Connery, Gert Frobe, Honor Blackman, Shirley Eaton. Third entry in the 007 series has James Bond (Connery) stylishly thwarting Auric Goldfinger (Frobe), an arch-criminal who plans to set off a nuclear device in Fort Knox and contaminate the U.S. gold supply.  Blackman plays the funny-named  Pussy Galore, whom Bond manages to persuade (ahem) over to the side of the good guys. The movie is entertaining throughout, with many exciting action scenes and lots of clever gadgets. Memorable scene has Goldfinger's secretary (Eaton) being killed by being covered entirely in gold paint. (English subtitles are available for the hearing-impaired.) Grade: B+
