GOLDFINGER | 007 And Auric Play Golf - Sean Connery | James Bond

Cheats never prosper as Auric Goldfinger discovers when he loses to James Bond (Sean Connery) in this scene from GOLDFINGER. The golf game was filmed on location at Stoke Park in Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire, England. Filming began on April 30 1964.
“The great joke about him (Connery) was his absolute obsession about golf. He was mad about it. The rest of us had to steer him away from the subject or he’d go on for hours, giving us a ball-by-ball replay,” said Pussy Galore actress Honor Blackman. Directed by Guy Hamilton.

Exactly it just shows how bond has something at stake. Todat we might think 'well its not my money' but the state and bond has a sense of responsibility as well as not being chewed out by his boss. Casino Royale captured this as well.

[@trwent]

If Bond had lost that bar, M would have gone through the roof!!

[@davejohn255]

That was for Goldfingers benefit. To throw him off guard. Bond was sandbagging him. In the book he gave him a handicap off an easy course when he also had that handicap on much harder course. If Auric knew he would have wanted strokes. He even missed his last putt on purpose just to add insult to injury. He is a 00 no chance he loses and losing 5000lbs wouldn't have nerved him in the slightest, he had a license to kill.

It wasn’t until I was taught enough golf to look as though I could outwit the accomplished golfer Gert Frobe in “Goldfinger” that I got the bug. I began to take lessons on a course near the Pinewood film studios, and was immediately hooked on the game. Soon it would nearly take over my life. I began to see golf as a metaphor for living, for in golf you are basically on your own, competing against yourself and always trying to do better. If you cheat, you will be the loser, because you are cheating yourself."

@@CS-hd9xu Donald Trump constantly cheats at golf, even having himself declared course tournament champion at courses he owns based on scores he supposedly achieved playing at some other course and phoned in to the tournament officials (who are employed by him, and thus in a bad position to call him out on it).

The time during the arrival of the Bond films that each one was better made and brought a new benchmark to the genre. Case in point, the fabulous John Barry music that so accentuated the moments (Odd Job's entrance!) foreshadowing to us us viewers that bad things were about to happen and he was the one bringing it. Not too many gadgets to rely on yet and screen time allowed them to develop character. The biggest plus of all was the rich Ian Fleming material to cull from. It's not often that "perfection" can be attained but from "Dr. No" to "Thunderball", this franchise was hitting on all cylinders! One more thing, this was my first exposure to a series movie in which the same actor played the same character in a succession of films. The birth of the franchise I guess.

I think Gert Frobe was the best villain of all Bond movies. The technology was at its start, but it was wonderful and understandable. Unlike subsequent movies that relied on the high-tech more than the story, it failed. Each movie should have a great script that really echoes the era with classical backgrounds, with car chase sequences and some high-tech adventure to be complimentary, not entirely the center of the story.

Sean Connery is Flemings Bond's in cinematic form. This scene perfectly covers several chapters in the book, which describe the golf game in detail, every one of Bonds shots, strokes and plays. Ian Fleming described Bond as a healthy, violent, non-cerebral man in his mid-thirties who was a product of his time (post-war). Fleming said "Exotic things would happen to and around him, but he would be a neutral figure-an anonymous, blunt instrument wielded by a government department.". Fleming agreed with critics who described Bond as an unthinking killer. Fleming also said He's got his vices and very few perceptible virtues except patriotism and courage. The screenwriters for Roger Moore distanced Bond from Fleming's original character with specific attributes and made him a seasoned, suave, playboy who uses gadgets and charm/humour to get him out of trouble, and was not a cold-blooded killer (as Fleming wrote), this was to please audiences in the 70's at the time which it did. Moore saved the franchise, and I don't think he could have done a version of Fleming's Bond well as Connery, but his unique take has been adored by generations of fans like Connery's. Everyone can have their favourite, but both actors should be celebrated as legends, as should Ian Fleming.

A golf game in an action movie? It’s actually one of the most important scenes in the entire film because it provides context to the action that plays out later. Here we have many converging factors: Bond meets his enemies and becomes intimately familiar with their personalities. Bond - and by extension, the audience - learn firsthand what makes Goldfinger a villain: he’s greedy, loves to win, and will cheat to do so. Without this scene, the spectacular action later loses some of its meaning and becomes background noise. Modern films would do well to slow down to let the audience experience these sorts of moments.
