SUMMARY:Goldfinger (1964)
DESCRIPTION:Ian Fleming’s classic James Bond novels were among President Jo
 hn F. Kennedy’s favorite books. In 1962\, Dr. No became the first James Bo
 nd title to be released as a film\, and in 1964\, Goldfinger became a bloc
 kbuster that attracted lengthy lines at the theatre. In some cases\, polic
 e were summoned to control unruly crowds. Goldfinger 's $3 million budget
  was recouped in two weeks\, and box office records were shattered in mult
 iple countries. Goldfinger  was the first Bond film to garner an Oscar for
  Best Sound Editing. \nListen to film historians Brian Hughes and Clyde Po
 nder analyze and discuss the actors\, set designs\, videographic challenge
 s\, innovative sound effects and music at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday\, April 11 at
  the Allen Public Library. This discussion can be viewed virtually at http
 s://actv.org/   by clicking on the WATCH button. In the library’s gallery
  during April\, view James Bond: The First Decade 1962- 1972\, Dr. No \, R
 ussia with Love \, Goldfinge r\, Thunderball \, You Only Live Twice \, On
  Her Majesty’s Secret Service and Diamonds Are Forever. \nAfter their pres
 entation (7:00 p.m.)\, a film that involves a British M16 agent will be fe
 atured. The film will not be presented virtually. \nBrian has written and
  lectured extensively about the James Bond phenomenon\, publishing article
 s and reviews in local and national publications. Co-founder of the New Or
 leans WTUL radio show\, “Stage and Screen\,” his annual November tribute t
 o Bond film music became so eagerly anticipated\, generating so many phone
  calls to the studio that he had to solicit a volunteer to field them so h
 e could cue up the music. Brian serves as Cultural Services specialist for
  the City of Crestview\, Florida\, operating the Crestview History Museum
  and producing cultural events — including 007-related programs. \nBrian a
 nd Clyde started a correspondence at the beginning of their freshman year
  at their respective colleges\, which soon blossomed into a friendship tha
 t continues to this day.  When asked about the historical significance of
  Goldfinger \, Clyde observes\, “Prior to Goldfinge r\, Dr. No and From Ru
 ssia With Love had been hits but nothing like the worldwide popularity of
  Goldfinger. The Aston Martin\, gadgets\, music\, villain\, and script\, …
  all contributed to what many critics feel is the best Bond film of all ti
 me.” Clyde further observes that films allowed him to travel to any time a
 nd place. In the case of Goldfinger\, “ The viewer is placed in situations
  where the characters react to what is happening on the screen \, although
  James Bond is pure fantasy\, I always enjoy watching how he escapes from
  the incredible scenarios in which he finds himself … imagine being handcu
 ffed to an atomic bomb inside Fort Knox with the clock ticking!” \nSponsor
