Man has climbed Mount Everest, gone to the bottom of the ocean. He's fired rockets at the Moon, split the atom, achieved miracles in every field of human endeavor... except crime!

Karl Gerhart Fröbe

Better known as Gert Fröbe and best known in the English-speaking world for three films: Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines (1965), Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968) and, of course, Goldfinger (1964) as above.

Large, bull-chested and ridiculously handsome (especially in uniform).

I love the double (triple?) chin in this still. Particularly suited a bow tie...

...and a moustache.

Goldfinger (1964)

It’s been said before, but bears repeating: Ken Adam knew what the fuck he was doing on the Bond sets. And indeed any other production in which he was involved. While Goldfinger boasts no volcano lair or exotic aquatic abode, it’s perhaps one of the more refined expressions of this era of Bond iconography. Auric Goldfinger, for all of his machinations and economic designs, is something of a proto-Elon Musk in execution. He’s a bit of a blustering, blithering dipshit. He cannot win at golf or cards, but finds ways to cheat using his lackeys. And he’s clearly paid off a bunch of very Joisey American mobsters to get a thing or two done and hasn’t been able to deliver. But he has a sort of malignant narcissism and penchant for gold which make him… wait, does he also anticipate Trump!? Anyway, his rumpus room is a coup de grâce from Adam, preposterously inconvenient in how it moves furniture elements and reveals ridiculously detailed models which are of use exactly once. Just hearing mobsters gripe about how this feels like a merry-go-round is worth the price of admission. Later, Fort Knox is a strange neo-art-deco gold palace, an ornate prison for gold bullion arrayed behind bars. Metal elevators and marble accents define the space, because why not?

Watching Chitty Chitty Bang Bang with my boy child. After a recent binge of James Bond movies, his response to seeing Desmond Llewelyn was an enthusiastic "MOM that is Q!"

Oh kid, just wait until Goldfinger shows up...
