In the pre-title sequence, James Bond (Sean Connery) infiltrates a Mexican drug lord’s base by water wearing a dry suit with a snorkel camouflaged as a seagull. He destroys a hidden building with plastic explosives and defeats an assassin by electrocuting him in a bathtub. Bond destroying a heroin warehouse and killing a thug is mentioned in the novel but the setpiece has nothing to do with the main narrative. The sequence is able to stand on its own as a short subject[2] as a well edited Bond film in miniature featuring all the elements of a Bond film; exotic locale, secret weapons supplied by Q branch that are amusing and practical, a villain’s building featuring impressive architecture destroyed in an explosion, Bond peeling off his dry suit to reveal a white dinner jacket that he adds a red carnation to, a beautiful femme fatale, a well chereographed fight, with the sequence ending in a black comedy joke all set to John Barry’s music. It prepares the audience for the film they are about to see before Robert Brownjohn’s titles[3].
The main story begins in Miami Beach, Florida, at the Fontainebleau Hotel with Central Intelligence Agency agent Felix Leiter (Cec Linder) delivering a message to Bond from M to watch Auric Goldfinger (Gert Fröbe). Bond foils Goldfinger’s cheating at gin rummy by distracting his employee, Jill Masterson (Shirley Eaton). 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 (Harold Sakata), who then covers Jill in gold paint, supposedly killing her by epidermal suffocation.
In London, Bond learns that his true mission is determining how Goldfinger transports gold internationally. Prior to his assignment he is issued an Aston Martin DB5 from Q modified with several gadgets. He plays a high-stakes golf game with his adversary (with a recovered bar of Nazi gold as the prize); despite Goldfinger’s cheating, Bond wins the match. Goldfinger warns Bond to stay out of his business by having Oddjob decapitate a statue by throwing his steel-rimmed top hat. Undeterred, Bond follows him to Switzerland, where he unintentionally foils an attempt by Tilly Masterson (Tania Mallet) to assassinate Goldfinger to avenge the death of her sister, Jill.Read more
