favourite Goldfinger character?

robluvsnic [Edit] [Delete] 03:06, 4 July '11

To make it interesting, let's say excluding Connery as Bond.

The money would be most obviously split between Pussy Galore and Oddjob, but this little bit of trivia makes me appreciate Goldfinger himself a bit more:

'Goldfinger's name was borrowed from Ian Fleming's neighbour in his Hampstead home, architect Ern Goldfinger, and his character bears some resemblance.[4] Ern Goldfinger consulted his lawyers when the book was published, prompting Fleming to suggest renaming the character "Goldprick", but Goldfinger eventually settled out of court in return for his legal costs, six copies of the novel, and an agreement that the character's first name 'Auric' would always be used.'.

This is gonna be a great thread.
