Geocache Description:

"Bond, James Bond"

Goldfinger is the third movie in the 007 series and thus, the third cache in the series. These are not
meant to be hard, just fun and to bring out the Secret Agent in all of us.

Released in 1964, Goldfinger was the first Bond film to win an Academy Award (Best Sound Effects Editing) and opened to largely favorable critical reception.

Broccoli earned permission to film in the Fort Knox area. To shoot Pussy Galore's Flying Circus gassing the soldiers, the pilots were only allowed to fly above 3000 feet. Director Guy Hamilton recalled this was "hopeless", and they flew at about 500 feet, "and the military went absolutely ape". The scenes of people fainting involved the same set of soldiers moving to different locations.

In an intense scene Bond forces the lock off of a bomb he is handcuffed to, but unable to disarm it. An atomic specialist, arrives and turns off the device with the clock stopped on, naturally, zero-zero-seven.

Goldfinger started the tradition of Bond theme songs being from the pop genre or using popular artists. Shirley Bassey sang the theme song "Goldfinger", and she would go on to sing the theme songs for two other Bond films.

Orson Welles was originally considered as Goldfinger, but his financial demands were too high.

What else but a gold $1 coin awaits the FTF. Congrats to CacheRegisteredNurse for claiming FTF.

Next James Bond cache to return in "Thunderball"
