GOLDFINGER 'Into Miami' - John Barry

Goldfinger (1964) is the third James Bond film, as well as the third to star Sean Connery as MI6 agent James Bond. It is based on the novel of the same name by Ian Fleming. The film also stars Honor Blackman and Gert Fröbe. The film was produced by Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman, and was the first of four Bond films directed by Guy Hamilton. The story has Bond following gold smuggler Auric Goldfinger, who plans a nuclear detonation inside the Fort Knox gold depository.
The film was the first official Bond blockbuster and made cinematic history by recouping its production costs in record-setting time, despite a budget equal to that of the two preceding films combined. Goldfinger was also the first Bond film to use a pop star to sing the theme song during the titles, a hallmark that would follow for every Bond film since except On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
In the pre-title sequence, James Bond destroys a Mexican drug lord's base with plastic explosives and defeats an assassin by electrocution. The story begins in Miami Beach, Florida, with CIA agent Felix Leiter delivering a message to Bond from M to watch Auric Goldfinger. Bond foils Goldfinger's cheating at gin rummy by distracting his employee, Jill Masterson. After blackmailing Goldfinger into losing, Bond and Jill consummate their new relationship in Bond's hotel suite. Bond is knocked out by Goldfinger's Korean manservant Oddjob, while Jill is covered in gold paint and succumbs to epidermal suffocation.

Margaret Nolan as Bond's masseuse 'Dink'. Her body was also painted with gold in the titles and advertisements.

God, Shirley Eaton (yes!), was NOT in this film long enough but to tantalize us. My tongue is still hanging out of my mouth over her, decades later!

The best Bond ever

The song that is playing in the background when james finds jill masterson painted gold, is the beginning of six underground by the sneaker pimps. anyone else ever notice this?

John Barry and Jery goldsmith between them probably epitomise this period in hollywood both masters at their craft and it shows in this short Barry piece would have love to have heard the whole extended piece instead of just a snippit but as long as its Barry it will suffice who said more was necessarily better.

@PivotStarter97 What incomprehensible dribble. Had it not been so poorly written, it might even have been interesting.

Shirley Eaton has to be in the top few Bond girls, even though her role was oh so brief in this film. (I'm still particular to Eunice Gayson as Sylvia Trench). By the time Goldfinger was released (only the 3rd Bond film with Connery), the legend and hype were huge and Eaton graced the cover of Life magazine in her gold paint. And no, "the girl really died" was just an urban legend.
