Goldfinger At 60: How The Sean Connery James Bond Movie Solidified The Classic 007 Formula


On October 5, 1962, the James Bond movies exploded onto the scene with the decisive victory of Dr. No, and it’s a date that is now known to fans as Global James Bond Day. But it wasn’t until 1964’s Goldfinger that Ian Fleming’s literary creation really stepped into the cinematic form that’s been parodied for decades to come.

In fact, the Guy Hamilton-directed entry in Sean Connery’s James Bond run, which premiered on September 18th in its native UK, solidified several of the key hallmarks that have heralded a Bond movie throughout the classic era. In celebration of Global James Bond Day, I’d like to raise my martini to the movie that really defined the world of 007.

With that in mind, allow me to run through how Goldfinger solidified the classic James Bond formula for decades to come.
