Haven't seen any "official" reviews of this yet, so I just wanted to throw in a short personal opinion. GOLDFINGER has never made me happy on either laser disc or DVD. The colors just didn't work - undersaturated, with odd flesh tones that were subject to shifting. Like DR. NO and FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE, this Blu-ray is a keeper. Damn, I can't imagine it looked this good when I saw it in 1964. The color is simply revelatory, and of course the gold is especially precious (sorry, couldn't resist). Sharp as a tack. Mono sound wonderfully restored. Well worth the $25.00 I spent at Target to get it (although they'll probably run a $19.99 sale on it soon, as they did with the first batch of Bond Blu-rays) - one of my favorite Bond films. Hesitate for not one instant!!!
