A review by qdb1994
Goldfinger by Ian Fleming
1.0
Book: Goldfinger (1959)
Movie: Goldfinger (1964)
Summary: James Bond is set on the trail of the of gold obsessed crooked business man Auric Goldfinger. On his journey Bond encounters the deadly henchman Oddjob and the enigmatic Pussy Galore.
Differences: There a number of adaptation changes in the film for the better. The racism towards Oddjob is cut, the deeply homophobic Pussy Galore subplot is cut, Bond drinks much more in the book, and Goldfinger's ultimate plan with the gold in Fort Knox is somewhat different. The low-key sexism is similar in both mediums.
Verdict: The book has aged quite badly and the film is still considered one of the best James Bond films ever made. Not an especially hard choice really.
Book: 1/5
Movie: 5/5
