SIMMONS, MR.

Contributed by: The James Bond Movie Encyclopedia by Steven Jay Rubin

The dupe with whom Goldfinger (Gert Fröbe) plays a rigged game of gin in Miami Beach, portrayed by a dapper Austin Willis in Goldfinger. Simmons is being systematically cheated by Goldfinger, who uses his girl Friday, Jill Masterson (Shirley Eaton), to spy on Simmons’s hand with binoculars and then relay the information to him through a radio transmitter disguised as a hearing aid. Before Bond (Sean Connery) ferrets out the scam, Willis has lost $10,000. However, when 007 informs Goldfinger that the jig is up, the golden villain proceeds to lose back $15,000.
