Goldfinger (Hamilton, 1964): Prince Charles Cinema, 3.30pm
The Prince Charles Cinema continues its
full 007 Retrospective showing every James Bond movie over the coming
months. You can see all the details of the screenings here.
The
press reviews of the films don't capture the excitement of this
retrospective for Bond fans and I am recommending the Blogalongabond
series by Neil Alcock (aka @theincrediblesuit on Twitter). Here is his take on Goldfinger.
Time Out review:
Guy Hamilton’s Pinewood-produced
‘Goldfinger’ is the first of four James Bond films he directed and the
third to star Sean Connery
as 007. Any kid growing up in the early ’60s will remember this one for
several reasons: Birley Shassey’s screamer of a theme; Bond’s shocking
use of a beautiful girl as a human shield; bullion-obsessed baddie Auric
Goldfinger’s top hat-wielding henchman, Oddjob; Honor Blackman’s
risquely monikered Pussy Galore; and, above all, Bond’s stupendous,
gadget-infested silver Aston Martin DB5, the car that spurred a thousand
Corgi purchases. Presented here in a newly restored digital print, it
should look especially swish on the big screen.
