GOLDFINGER | Bond follows Auric Goldfinger along the Furkha Pass in Switzerland 

So were his Saville Row suits ...

Or a foreign production studio that can afford or is willing to pay in order to film in Switzerland (even if it's supposed to take place there).

​@@Johnnybomb1I think Slovakia is used in those cases lol

It makes you wonder what dissatisfied Goldfinger, exactly, as this is already as good as it gets in life.

This is British movie. Their Queen, around a century ago stayed there for a while.

Read the books too they’re excellent

Lll9

It feels like you’re right along with him the whole time! And when one drives whilst listening to a Bond Soundtrack, one suddenly becomes Bond! Ciau!!!

A cutting saw getting out of Bond's car and sawing that woman's wheel at the "precise" moment would make someone disagree with this point of view. The acting is far from natural, the way scenes are cut and re-opened are not precisely flawless. And the list goes on....

@@mihailfelixdumitresc The saw was the only feature on that DB-5 that wasn't real. Everything else was functional with the possible exception of the water jets. They spent a lot of money on that car and used in a publicity campaign after filming.

100%

The only man who had high hopes for the 60s was assassinated the year before this movie was made. 😢

Only after he got a woman killed.

@@jimmymunz874 Yeah. He’s a wild card.

Probably he was thinking about prices of Swiss tickets for speeding

@@markusschmidt7513 Need I remind you, 007, that you have a license to kill, not break the traffic laws!

@@markusschmidt7513 The strict speed limits in Switzerland were only introduced in the seventies.

From Russia is personally my favourite but this comes veeeerry close. Let's be honest, you can't go wrong with any of the Connery films. Far better than the over dramatic, monotone Craig, Bourne wannabe films. I lost most interest after Peirce, the last good Bond.

@@Mattythebassman craig was really good as bond but nothing beats connery in my opinion

The junk yard crushing of the car made me destroy lots of my matchbox cars in a vise ! they might have been worth money today !

Best Bond movie? I think Pussy Galore's "air force" scene was a bit cartoonish. Nonetheless, I have watched this movie at least once in every decade since the 1960's. Thunderball is my personal favorite. I believe most critics thought that On Her Majesty's Secret Service would have been the best Bond had Connery starred in that film.

Thunderball. And it has better babes.

Always

And only Sean Connery should have been allowed to drive that beautiful car! It's overuse in later Bond moves by the Inferior likes of Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig only lessened it's classic legacy. Only Timothy Dalton should have had a loan of it, if anyone.

The real Connerys Bond movies Afther Flemings funeral Inside Bond movies documentary The original James Bond movies actor is CARY GRANT. He was the main candidate for James Bond in Dr No. Grant was an old FRIEND of Albert R Broccoli and attended his wedding.The best man. Roger Moore was also thought of as a BOND in Dr No. They could NOT spend almost all the money to buy Roger Moore free from the TV contract. By then there had been no Bond films. Then they waited and checked if Moore was available several times. 1961 1964 1967 1968 and 1972 when he got the role of BOND for the second time. Only debuted in the movies. Not like BOND 007. That's one of the few more reasons why Moore first played James Bond 007 in Mainly Millicent on television in 1964. Moore is an old FRIEND of Christopher Lee. Lee and Ian Fleming are in the same family. That's one of the few more reasons why ALBERT R BROCCOLI was an actor in his Bond films. The Spy who love me and Moonraker IMDB AND Wikipedia.

The way to say the name borrowed from The Saint films from 1939/1940. (My name is Templar Simon Templar / Templar Simon Templar) The Saint in London the Saints VICATION Connery debuted in Dr No in Casino. 7 minutes after Bob Simmons stuntman. Not in GUNBARRIEL SEQUENCE as MANY people think. Connery got the role of BOND in Dr No because of Darby O'gill and the little people and that CARY GRANT ROGER MOORE AND DAVID NIVEN can not. Connery is DANA BROCCOLIS BOND ACTOR. Dr No Director Youngs James Bond movies actor Richard Johnson The real Sean Connery's Bond movies are from Thunderball you only live twice Diamond are forever and Never say never again.

"Was bought" highly doubtful, cars producers pay money for advertising.

@@slawomirlech950 In 1964 paid product placement in movies had yet to become common practice. The Mustang convertible was just about the coolest and latest chic thing to have, like the Lockheed L-1329 JetStar Pussy Galore flew as Goldfinger's private jet. Records show that they were leased for the movie's production as was Bond's Aston Martin ... Although Ian Fleming had placed Bond in a DB Mark III in the novel, the DB5 was the company's newest model when the film was being made. Although the producers had to pay for the use of the DB5S used in Goldfinger, sales were so record breaking after Goldfinger became a hit, in future Bond films the DB5s were complimentary. On the other hand, the scenes with the KFC, and the scenes where Bond shaves with Gillette products on Auric's jet were some of the first product placement deals ever made in a pop movie. It's fun to note that the Goldfinger laser table scene was originally conceived by Ian Fleming, in the novel, as a slowly moving buzz saw, that threatened JB with being split in half. The movie producers wanted something less cliche and time worn... lasers were on the cutting edge of modern technology in 1964, so the buzz saw became a "laser"...

Good information

@@williardbillmore5713 superb information

Even the DB5 used in Goldfinger was a converted late DB4 model

You forgot to add "ding".

dfvo

You'd think he'd more alarmed at a bullet sound

That's when you know she means business.

@@TheBrickGuy7939 haha exactly.

Does it happen at other times in the movies? I don't think so...

In Fleming's novel, she was a lesbian.

If that sort of thing was in a new Craig movie, they'd be saying "OMG GROUNDBREAKING SO FRESH AND DIFFERENT!!" Like shoving the gunbarrel sequence in some random part of the movie for no reason "WOOOAH, GENIUS!" Pile of shyte. Craig looks like a short Russian henchman with a face like a smacked arse. Wooden, always angry and unpleasant. I actually really liked his casting initially and wanted to love his portrayal, but I just can't see him as Bond. The whole incessantly dreary, bleak, "dark n gritty" BS with some stiff and awkward robot pretending to be James Bond is getting incredibly boring now.

He punched his wife Dianne Cilento to the floor. Some hero.

What is a" great innings?"

@@davidleigh443 a British expression meaning someone has died a very old age; lived a long/decent length of time.

It was a Ford product placement, they paid for it to be in the movie, a very early production run. Production of the car started in March 1964, and filming in Switzerland wrapped in July 1964.

Yeaah its same with Ford Mustang Convertible in Thunderball movie

I always thought this was the best followed by "From Russia with Love." They stayed close to the novels and they still made (some kind of) sense.

@@hudsony777 I agree.

Here is another coincidence: Sean Connery and Roger Moore both died at the age of 90

Roger Moore was 89 when he died but was going to turn 90 the year he died.

@@hudsony777 I like Russia and then GF. Russia was just such deeply entrenched in espionage...I ❤️ it.

That was smooth and also my favorite part! Puts a huge smile on my face the way it was shot and how it was done.

convincing

Terribly acted...just terribly acted. :(

Billace 90 cool down

Perhaps by the 60s standards it was well acted 😂

the datedness is part of the charm of '60s Bond.

it still is. you just assume it's a hunter or military training.

Gun ownership is very high in Switzerland. Everyone is required to know how to use a gun, by law.

@@bicyclist2 You know nothing about gun ownership in Switzerland. Conscription is only for men, which means that almost half of the population isn't trained to use a firearm.

🤣🤣

@@Atombender a Revolver or a small .22 pistol isnt difficult even without basic know how

Her car needs a garage, and a body shop.

Never mind that! Take me to the nearest garage. As quickly as possible. Tilly was rather rude IMHO.

GPS wasn't as well dialed in back then...

Its always good to have some fruit around...

Connery walks into the great beyond in a dark grey 3 piece suit, smoking a Dunhill cigarette.

Even a Bond villain needs to get his five a day.

My favourite music syncing moment actually is in Goldfinger, when Oddjob is driving off for his “pressing engagement” and the CIA agent with Felix notices that he’s on the move, alerting him by hitting the horn in perfect timing to the music.

And on a horrendously dangerous curve that would likely get the whole lot of them wiped out

evil geniuses get hungry too lol

Some of those famous local Urserental apples.

What was even weirder about it was that he had to _wake up_ first!

Except it would be Masala. His "Greek chariot" had the extended axle...

No villains would ever TRULY want you to rest in peace. They expect you to DIE In Agony.

Bond films had many Mustangs in them along with a lot of other Ford Products...

I wonder how much Ford paid for the product placement.

You are correct, Joe Ford had built and sold only 35 convertible Mustangs at the time this scene was filmed.

This is the second film in which a Mustang appeared and it was product-placed. The first is the French movie Le Gendarme a St Tropez (1964) starring the famous French comedy actor Louis De Funes.

True. I think it was a pre-production model used for launch and promotional purposes.

Cause the early Bond movies often wanted to make women look like dimwits.

Err! She's female. A friend's wife once spent ten minutes chatting to me as I leant out of a car window when she said "Is there something different about your car?" I drove a silver Saab 900 turbo normally, but was leaning out of the window of a silver Nissan Micra at the time. 🤦‍♂️

She didn't buy it. She said he should have backed off further. So she knew it was his fault. She just didn't knew how it could have been possible

@@Mzee1084 Not at all. She's fixated on avenging the death of her sister. The car was unimportant. She fired at Bond because he was getting in her way.

I always wondered about that, old boy, but for 50 years I thought I was the only one who noticed.

That "stop" always bothered me just a little.

Why is it so hard for people to get a good timestamp. This is a little too late. 3:18 (or even 3:17) would be better.

@@xyhmo Fair comment.

A.C....................she is trying to shoot G.F. at 300 yards with 22 semi auto ????they were fun little plinksters !!!!!!

@@dannycalley7777 The hope spring is truly eternal. At least, Bond knew she wasn't a professional killer.

@@actioncom2748 as i was expecting, they looked the same

Yes, the iconic ArmaLite AR-7 survival rifle.

That's what I'm saying. Even bond was far. Gf....I doubt she had that range cause she was miles off

I think, Sean Connery had a great screen presence, personality, ruthless, real Bond charector as in the novel....... Daniel Creig a better actor, as a Bond, more humane and sensitive, as in best of all the Bond movies, Casino Royle.

Wrong. He was also interrupted in 1973's Live and Let Die by Mr. Big, who interjected with, "Names is[sic] for tombstones, baby."

Good catch, it looks like a digital re- composition. I have to look at old footage to find out if it was Connery or not.

@@gauravtributes5023 Thanks, what I was wondering, however, was not if it was Connery, or not (I'm sure it was), but I was suspicious about how clean the blue-screen work was for such an old film; which made me wonder if it was digitally re-composited from the original film elements (assuming they have survived after the release prints were finished).

@@petergivenbless900 Try searching for Lowry digital work. They have converted every single bond film digitally. You might find how good blue screen work was.

@@gauravtributes5023 I have seen one of the original prints and this is a pretty good look for it.

I've noticed too he's wearing his wedding ring, there

Tracking screen for the homer, not GPS.

They go on about the tires but no mention of the rocker panels torn to shit.

Manufacturer's defect, it is a Ford. ;)

It’ll buff right out.

It’s called the Messala effect. It worked in Ben Hur, it worked here!

Are there some production notes on how long the film team has been in Switzerland?

This is not the reason the hotel closed down.

Must agree. Timothy is my second favorite to Sean, followed by Brosnan and Moore. Craig and Lazenby follow. There are no bad Bonds just rankings

@@q.h.s5051 In my eyes, there are only two Bonds: Rog and Sean.

Hi Salmurry - GPS did not exist back then, it was not even at the conceptual stage yet. The idea in the movie was that a "radar" hidden in the outside rear-view mirror was sending a signal to the "real-time" radar view of his location (or the homing device) on the console. The idea for this came from early "ground targeting" airborne radars used the military. Ciao, L (retired military)

@@lancelot1953 hey, thanks for the explanation
