The Midas Touch
1964 saw the release of what many consider the quintessential Bond film, the one with the action, cars, locations, evil plans, quips, gadgets, girls and even a gun-wielding granny! It was also the one that set the template for future 007 films, but not only that it kick-started the Bond phenomenon, spawning a whole host of memorabilia. From board games, books, toy figures, puzzles, replica Aston Martin DB5's and even a beach towel, Goldfinger had it all. So grab a mint julep and have a browse of the collection with the midas touch…
