"Arguably the best of all the James Bond series, this is a thrilling and often laugh-out-loud funny adventure that never fails to entertain no matter how many times you've seen it." - QWIPSTER'S MOVIE REVIEWS

“The inmates are taking over the asylum,” sneered a crusty studio head when Hollywood titans Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin and D.W. Griffith formed United Artists in 1918. Evolving into the first “studio without a studio,” thus eschewing crushing overhead expenses, UA would eventually forge partnerships with such independently-minded filmmakers as Buster Keaton, Billy Wilder, Stanley Kubrick, Woody Allen, Robert Altman, John Huston, Richard Lester, John Schlesinger, Martin Scorsese, etc. – while cleaning up at the box-office with its hugely successful James Bond and Pink Panther franchises - resulting in some of the most entertaining, adventurous, and Oscar-laden American (and foreign) movies of the last nine decades.
All through the month of August, The Loft celebrates the studio’s 90th Anniversary with some of the amazing United Artist films that have helped stoke the world’s love affair with the movies.

August 22nd - August 28th:
GOLDFINGER (1964)
“Do you expect me to talk, Goldfinger?” “No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!” Bobbing up from under a stuffed seagull, a frogman strips to reveal an impeccably white dinner jacket — Sean Connery as James Bond, of course. In GOLDFINGER, after Shirley Bassey belts the chart-busting title tune, 007 squares off against Gert Frobe’s eponymous master criminal and his fiendish plot to corner the world’s gold reserves, with Fort Knox (Kentucky) the prize; all the while dodging torture by laser beam and that steel-belted hat from Japanese sidekick “Oddjob” — and NOT dodging Honor Blackman’s Pussy Galore or the tragically golden-hued Bond girl Shirley Eaton.
This third installment in the James Bond film franchise was the first blockbuster of the series, and helped cement 007 (and Sean Connery) as the world’s favorite super spy.
