GOLDFINGER – Pre-Title Sequence Decoded!

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

Drug Lords! Latin America!  Miami Beach! Seagulls! Nitro!  Grappling hooks! Ramirez! Plastic explosives!  Dr. No?!  Tuxedos and dry suits and the Dutch resistance!

Our discussion of the Goldfinger pre-title sequence looks at:

  • Bond’s leather shoes
  • The wonderful Ken Adam set and its links to Dr. No
  • 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 …
