Goldfinger (1964)

A survey in the early 1990s revealed that something like 80% of the movie going public had seen Goldfinger at least once.

Margaret Nolan, who appears briefly as Bond's masseuse Dink, also appears during the opening credit sequence.

During the fight with Oddjob at Fort Knox, Connery hurt his back and filming was delayed. It has been suggested that Connery used the time to work a better deal with the producers for his continued work in the series.

Apparently, Connery has only ever seen the film twice - once at its premiere, and again several years later when his granddaughter insisted that he watch his favourite Bond film with her.

An aircraft hanger bears the sign "Welcome General Russhon", a reference to the film's technical advisor Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Russhon.

Speaking to Robert Osborne of the Hollywood Reporter (12 April 1982), Broccoli named Goldfinger one of his favourite Bond films, alongside From Russia With Love (1963) and The Spy Who Loved Me (1977).
