Midas Touch
By Jeffrey M. Anderson
For many fans, the third film, Guy Hamilton's Goldfinger (1964), was the pinnacle of the series, wherein every element clicked into place with satisfying perfection. Bond (Connery) must stop the title bad guy (Gert Fröbe) from robbing Fort Knox. He meets the ultimate Bond girl, Pussy Galore (Honor Blackman), and the ultimate evil henchman, Oddjob (Harold Sakata), with his deadly hat. The dead girl, suffocated and covered in gold paint, is one of the indelible images of the entire series. This movie features some of the best lines ("I must be dreaming" and "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!") as well as one of the very best songs, Shirley Bassey's "Goldfinger." It won an Oscar for Best Sound Effects.
