The Film
In
Goldfinger, Sean Connery is the definitive James Bond. Dry as ice, dripping with deadpan witticisms, only Connery's Bond would dare disparage the Beatles, that other 1964 phenomenon. No one but Connery can believably seduce women so effortlessly, kill with almost as much ease and then pull another bottle of Dom Perignon '53 out of the fridge.
Goldfinger contains many of the most memorable scenes in the Bond series: gorgeous Shirley Eaton (as Jill Masterson) coated in gold paint by evil Auric Goldfinger and deposited in Bond's bed; silent Oddjob, flipping a razor-sharp derby like a Frisbee to sever heads; our hero spread-eagle on a table while a laser beam moves threateningly toward his crotch. Honor Blackman's Pussy Galore is the prototype for the series' rash of man-hating supermodels. And Desmond Llewelyn makes his first appearance as Q, giving Bond what is still his most impressive car: a snazzy little number that fires off smoke screens, punctures the tires of vehicles on the chase and boasts a handy ejector seat. The recent reinvigoration of Bond fever spurred by
Casino Royale serves as an impetus to revisit
Goldfinger, the film most critics hail as the finest of the franchise.
The Event
The crux of this screening is that we will be within a stone's throw of the nation's most mysterious national monument, Fort Knox. Although we will be close to the depository, I'd recommend not actually throwing the stone. The U.S. is still on "code-orange" alert and space lasers may disintegrate your arm nanoseconds after the rock leaves your hand. Seriously, however,
due to national security concerns, cameras, recording devices and video cameras will not be permitted at the event and we will be enforcing this at the screening. Prior to the film, we will screen a series of classic and not-so-classic spy trailers, some Bond, some Bond-spoofs.
The primary audience for this film is the soldiers, families and employees stationed at Fort Knox. The event is, however, open to the public. The screening will take place on the Fort Knox Military Base. Entrance to the facility is through the main entrance to the base on Bullion Blvd. (Bullion Blvd. Gate), off Highway 31W. Anyone over the age of 16 will be required to show a valid drivers license, passport or State Issued Identification Card to enter the base. Once inside, there will be clear signage to the screening location.
After the screening, there will be an after-party sponsored by
Dewar's White Label. We will be posting details on the after-party on this website.
