GOLDFINGER – Pre-Title Sequence Decoded!

Join Dan, Tom and Vicky as we dig for the gold in the pre-title sequence of GOLDFINGER!

  • Bond’s facial expressions
  • The white dinner jacket and its subsequent use in a Steven Spielberg movie.
  • How the dinner jacket was inspired by a real agent named Peter Tazelaar
  • and more …
