[Steve Mitchell · Rating 3 out of 5]

A pleasant enough reference book about the film of the same name, with a small amount of additional material on the book that the film was based upon. Just one tip though: if you are going to include an entry with the heading 'whoops!' highlighting errors that other writers have made when discussing Goldfinger, it is better if the next entry - Willis, Austin Actor who played Felix Leiter - is not actually wrong! (Willis was originally supposed to play Bond's CIA colleague, but took the role of Goldfinger's victim at the card table; Cec Linder ended up playing Leiter! And yes; I do realise how sad I am to have noticed that and that I am even sadder for have pointed it out to everybody!)

One serious warning though; if you do plan on going to see the Agatha Christie play 'The Mousetrap' then this book will tell you who the killer is!

"Funny, informative and very personal account of the movie Golfinger. A recommended read. Impossible to not see the movie again afterwards."
