Thursday, September 17, 1964: 'Goldfinger'


The third and most memorable of the James Bond movies premieres in London. It marked any number of firsts in the Bond canon:
     * First Bond movie to win an Academy Award (Best Sound Effects Editing).
     * First movie in which Bond himself orders a martini, "shaken, not stirred."
     * First Bond movie to include a pre-mission briefing from gadget master Q (who says, "Now pay attention, please.")
     * First in which Bond drives a heavily modified Aston Martin DB5 (including a passenger ejector seat).
     * First movie to feature the Ford Mustang, which had just debuted in April.
