Goldfinger	comment	The seventh James Bond novel by Ian Fleming, first published in 1959.Returning to London following the rather unpleasant mission of destroying a drug-smuggling operation in Mexico, Bond finds himself stranded in Miami for a day thanks to a cancelled flight. Purely by chance, he runs into an old acquaintance named Junius Du Pont, and through him is introduced to one Auric Goldfinger, the richest man in England. After making it back home, Bond learns that Goldfinger is on SMERSH's payroll and is tasked with getting him arrested and his large hoard of gold confiscated.The novel became the basis for the third James Bond film. One of the continuation novels, Trigger Mortis by Anthony Horowitz, takes place immediately after this one. It got a Radio Drama adaptation on BBC Radio 4 in 2010, with Toby Stephens as Bond, Rosamund Pike as Pussy Galore and Sir Ian McKellen as Auric Goldfinger.

(And among the mobsters Goldfinger enlists to help him with Operation Grand Slam is a representative of the same Vegas outfit which had carried out said smuggling.) When Bond goes to Royal St Marks golf course to play against Goldfinger, he thinks to himself about how he has never played there, even during "that accursed Moonraker business". After Bond concludes that he is in the afterlife, he ponders what Vesper will think of the other women he's become involved with since their parting.

Goldfinger / int_d4690452	comment	Artistic Licence â€“ Biology: Jill Masterson suffocates to death after being completely covered in gold paint, leaving her skin unable to breathe. As anyone who has been scuba diving in a wetsuit knows, that's not how human respiration works. While having one's skin completely painted would be really uncomfortable and could produce ill-effects such as poisoning from the paint itself or overheating from being unable to sweat, it couldn't, by itself, asphyxiate someone, as humans don't obtain oxygen through their skin. "Letting your skin breathe" is just a figure of speech. Mythbusters definitively busted the myth during an episode on James Bond-themed tropes, by having the actress who played Jill in the movie appear alive and well.

Goldfinger / int_dc579c91	type	Contrived Coincidence
Goldfinger / int_dc579c91	comment	Contrived Coincidence: The man Bond is assigned to follow on his new case is the same man â€“ Goldfinger â€“ with whom he'd just tangled in Miami. Bond himself lampshades this by bursting out laughing when M mentions Goldfinger's name. It's even the basis of the three-part structure of the novel, based on an aphorism that's quoted by Goldfinger himself: "Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it's enemy action." Goldfinger encounters Bond, naturally, three times.

Goldfinger / int_e81f5639	comment	Moe Greene Special: As Goldfinger explains his plan to have Bond work for him, he pulls out a small pistol and threatens to kill Bond with it if he tries to escape or attack. Goldfinger says that he's had to use it only rarely, but when he does, he aims for the right eye and never misses.

Goldfinger / int_f511ea9b	comment	Bond's new Aston Martin DBIII, and Goldfinger's Rolls Royce Silver Ghost. This is actually the only novel in which Bond drives an Aston Martin â€“ in the others he prefers Bentleys. The film series' deal with Aston Martin was what cemented Bond as an Aston driver in popular culture.
