GOLDFINGER - Novel vs Movie and Impact

Dan and Tom compare the GOLDFINGER – novel vs movie. How close is the movie to the novel, and how did the novel impact the franchise? Listen to find out!

Many of the early Eon Productions James Bond movies were based on the novels written by Ian Fleming. Ian Fleming's seventh novel, "Goldfinger," was used as the basis for the third Eon Productions James Bond movie of the same name.

In this episode, we decode the major differences between the novel and the movie. We also look at some other James Bond movies that were influenced by the "Goldfinger" novel.

Some of the things we discuss include:

· The opening sequence in Miami

· Catching Goldfinger cheating

· Investigating Goldfinger

· The Golf Match

· Tilly Masterton/Masterson

· James Bond's torture scene

· The differing plots at Fort Knox

· What was the poison GB from the novel?

· Pussy Galore's role

· What happened on Goldfinger's plane at the end

· And of course, there are more.

Links to episodes mentioned in this episode:

· Our trip to Indiana University (Ian Fleming's manuscripts)

· University of Iowa (Richard Maibaum Collection)
