Behind the Scenes Photos: Goldfinger

[@robertromero8692]

NO ONE belted out a Bond song like Shirley Bassey! What a voice!

[@dphotos007]

I worked as a still photographer for many years and the pictures you see here are called BTS photos. The still photographer is in the same union as the camera crew which is the Local 600. The still photos bring an interesting element to how a picture is made and it documents the era the time the movie was made plus it shows another personality to the actors. The main job of the still photographer is to document each scene so the studio will be able to use the photos to promote the movie. I really enjoy seeing the photos from movies I enjoyed seeing as a kid growing up in the 60’s and 70’s.

THE best of the Connery Bond movies,with great behind the scenes photos of Sean looking happy and relaxed before the whole spy franchise wore him down RIP Sean💎

[@countalucard4226]

After watching “A Night To Remember” which was made in 1958 I saw Honor Blackmans name in closing credits. Second time watching I looked for her character. She played the wife (with 2 children) of a very brave and honorable man who did not survive. She looked beautiful.

Best Bond ever!

[@MarcusTomatos]

Best bond film as well.

[@michaelbrown5601]

The theme song for Goldfinger is so powerful. And to see the cast having fun on the set... it shows in the final cut. The entire ensemble is so relaxed and perfect.

[@edwardpate6128]

My favorite Bond film. And OMG Honor Blackman! What a woman!

[@duanearcher7576]

She may not have been the prettiest Bond Girl - but she was the sexiest!

[@jeffreygluck6732]

One of the greatest movies of all time

Yes Goldfinger was great. I also liked “You Only Live Twice” and of course Sir Paul’s masterpiece “Live And Let Die”.

[@robertgsmith5761]

This was such a work of art ! Greatest Bond movie !

[@SRSM198]

Honor Blackman was stunning, she had the whole package, a beautiful voice and fgure, and very underrated actress

[@thefish5861]

I still remember going to that in 8th grade with a bunch of friends. First time I sat by a girl in a movie. God, life goes by fast.

The Fish.......me too, eighth grade February ‘65. Only I had to sit with my parents 😂.

[@carlhsieh2615]

[@michaelschramm1064]

I remember this film as my first movie going experience, a drive-in with my parents. Both my dad and Connery were 34 at the time and me only 5. Now they are both gone after each turning 90. Doesn’t seem possible that 56 years just simply vanished in such short order.

[@buffalopatriot]

Composer John Barry at his absolute best.

[@alexalex13131]

This film immortalized every actor in it.

[@robertgsmith5761]

Goldfinger was the best Bond film ! In Heaven we will get to be friends with all these actors and actresses !

[@paulcooper8818]

Wonderful set of photos. Who knew Jill Masterson patiently allowed the assassin to coat her in gold paint with an airbrush? Goldfinger was my first Bond movie, I was nine, it blew me away, so big brash and worldly. Still a favorite of mine despite some plot weakness in the third act. Thanks for sharing.

[@kelvinh8327]

Wow! Those b&w indoor shots look sensational!

[@peterfranks6243]

The template, the benchmark for all Bonds to follow

[@13thwho]

I remember that 30-odd years ago, when the early Bond films were put on VHS tapes, they would include a Pink Panther cartoon as well. The cartoon added to the “Goldfinger” tape was “Pinkfinger”.

A lot of times I'm too busy but I'm always listening to Shirley Bassey doing Goldfinger and lot of the songs and movies she did for James Bond song that's like I should list them Shirley Bassey is most amazing

[@markedwards7721]

In my back yard there is a shed built from wood by the previous owner who was among other things, a carpenter, in which is a stack of aluminum hurricane shutters is placed, along with a stack of about 90 bricks. Wouldn't it be fun to spray paint those bricks gold and just play a trick on my friends some day and open up the lock only to find out that I am Goldfinger's nephew!

[@johnkonstantine9115]

The most disturbing scene in "Goldfinger' was when they crushed a 1964 Lincoln at the scrap yard.

[@buffalopatriot]

I was 7 years old when I saw that and thought the same exact thing.

[@mrkeno1000]

you can see when the car is about to be crushed there is no engine

[@costantinoromano3415]

Goldfinger: uno dei più bei film di 007 di sempre. Tutto perfettamente : il tema musicale ( cantato magistralmente da Shirley Bassey) e con le musiche di John Barry, gli attori : Sean Connery, Honor Blackman,Gert Frobe......E poi la splendida e iconica Aston Martin DB5 .....

[@roberthigaki2282]

Great shots especially the last one!

[@Dra741]

This is absolutely awesome

[@PRR5406]

Priceless!

[@Dra741]

It was a great movie even in this Western version it's one of them things that's just like turkey every year on Christmas and Thanksgiving but you have to watch Goldfinger again and it was a real good quality and how they did things and it comes through in the photos and the acting they were thousand years ahead of their time in this

[@stantaylor3350]

First Bond movie I ever saw, fall of 66. I was 11, my eldest sister was 16, my brother & other sister in between. Big sis drove us to the theater in a 64 Corvair monza 110 4 speed. I had my friend Marty come along & spend the night. I'd seen the pic of the gold naked girl in my dad's TIME magazine & told Marty to watch for it in the movie. Great momories!! Big sis is dead now.

A gf and I were comparing Connery's 007 to Moore's. She said she liked Moore better, me, Connery. I asked her why. She said Moore's 007 was a ladies' man, but Connery was a man's man.

You know what I'm so happy to be able to sub to subscribe to behind the scenes photos because I thought a lot of this history especially the shooting of the movie Goldfinger was lost I did know these type of pictures and videos exist. I'm intrigued than excited about it they did a great job but a lot of these seems that we see should have been in the western excellence and Panache and all the sophistication you could muster was done in these movies with the actors and if you look at the the psychology of it all you find an amazing movie The Last entire lifetime I'll never stop looking at Goldfinger

Hello rom England Sean was the "ONLY BOND" for me for many reasons but although i was born in 1965 i still love the decade TODAY for its films, TV, fashion pop culture ETC. When ITV bought the rights around 1974 ish from MGM to show the films i watched them and over time all the films have been on TV and i have watched them again up until Pierce took over. What was it about SEAN. He just had that "SOMETHING EXTRA" Quite like ELVIS. Everywhere Sean went he was MOBBED and all the GIRLS would SCREAM What was it about the Bond Franchise with the first 5 films I can only describe it like this My late parents lived through the 1950's and up until 1954/5 rationing was still around. Everything was DRAB, BLACK & WHITE and what was at the theatre or on TV if you were lucky to have one or at the cinema was playing out their own lives 'the kitchen sink' and their lives were so HUM DRUM Once Dr No came along EVERYTHING TO TO TECHNICOLOUR. It gave them ESCAPISM. Far off EXOTIC places, fast cars, champagne, casinos and someone who was licenced to kill
