My first theater Bond film was DAF in 71, I was about 10. Only saw Goldfinger on TV afterwards. So Plenty O’toole was my first Bond hottie. ;)
GOLDFINGER had a HUGE impact on the tv and film industry. Much like Tom Clancey’s HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER really started the written techno thriller genre.
PS look up Dame Shirley Bassey belting out GOLDFINGER in 2013.
