GOLDFINGER | Bond follows Auric Goldfinger along the Furkha Pass in Switzerland

On this day in 1964 James Bond writer Ian Fleming passed away – the same day that filming finished on GOLDFINGER. In today’s clip Bond (Sean Connery) follows Auric Goldfinger (Gert Fröbe) along the Furkha Pass in Switzerland. Director Guy Hamilton said: “During the course of filming I had to sneak off and search the whole of Switzerland in one weekend, to find a wiggly road where Bond could tail Goldfinger.”

Once upon a time the tracking thing Bond had in his car was unbelievable technology!
Now the most unbelievable thing about this is seeing a gravel road in Switzerland...

One thing had had me fall in love with these Bond movies were the locations. I mean just beautiful scenery and really teleports you into the movie

The thing with the early Bond stories is the stories were more realistic. That's to say our imaginations could fly with the fantasy and believe 100% in the adventure. Great style locations and story telling not just visual appeal and action sequences which I feel many of the later bond films were less convincing though still entertaining

What a great background music. Just love it even today

Nothing captures 60's optimism more then Goldfinger. In fact its epitome of it.

"Discipline, 007. Discipline."

Even Bond realised when he shouldn't cross a fine line.

I absolutely adore this movie a lot & Goldfinger is considered to be the best bond movie ever made & it's one favourite ones too, Sean Connery was an iconic Legend & may he rest in peace

[nnmnn]

Rest in peace sir Sean Connery you were are and always be our James Bond forever !!!

Fun fact ; Goldfinger was released in January 1965 so the filming of this scene was done in 1964.
In the spring and summer of 1964 Ford built the first Mustangs and manufactured only 35 convertible Mustangs. They were sold to dealerships, in the US only.
One of these 35 cars was bought by the production crew working on "Goldfinger" and shipped it to Switzerland just for the making of this scene.
Bond films were always on the cutting edge of style fashion and technology.

One of the very first Ford Mustangs, 1964 1/2, sweet!

I hadn't realised Ian Fleming had died on the last day of filming. Some coincidence! Sean and Tanya died just a few months apart. One of my favourite scenes from my favourite Bond movie.

[thierrymaillard]

Gotta love the undertaking maneuver at 2:31, it´s my favourite part of this scene. You can see how good driver Bond actually is.

03:17 That sudden "hitting the head on the steering wheel" special effect
