GoldfingerGuy Hamilton 1964 UK Bond saves Fort Knox's millions from an international gold smuggler.
Probably the most solid of all the Bonds; the third in the franchise, on the back of two previous hits, made in the UK but with handsome funding from America and full confidence in Connery. It isn't as bloated as the follow-up, Thunderball, and is a lot more tamed, more subtle than From Russia With Love, in its sexual innuendos and crude fist-fights. The rhythm is consistent, the narrative never shoddy, and the set-pieces expensive and impressive. At the end of it all, it's the one with the best car, best gags, most memorable situations and best theme song.
