GOLDFINGER

1964 ITV4, 8pm ÌÌÌÌÌ

Sean Connery’s third outing with the Walther PPK is an unapologetic romp focusing on an entertaining plot to steal gold from Fort Knox. Connery very nearly suffered lasting damage during the crotch laser scene; what did he expect? In Auric Goldfinger (Gert Fröbe), Oddjob (Harold Sakata) and Pussy Galore (Honor Blackman), the film has the very best of Bond villains, goons and girls. An enduring classic that shows 007 at his most suave.
