USA TV - `Goldfinger` and `Thunderball` on AMC, Thursday night

18-May-2006 • Media Alert

Film: "Goldfinger"
Channel: AMC (USA)
Date: Thursday 18th May 2006
Time: 20:00

Sean Connery dodges the bullets and bowler hats as 007 is assigned to investigate the evil empire of Auric Goldfinger, a ruthless man with a dangerous penchant for gold bullion. Add a bevy of beautiful foes, plenty of memorable villains, a vast array of amazing gadgetry, and a spectacular finale in the vaults of Fort Knox - and you have the recipe for one of the most exciting and enduring episodes in the Bond series.

Directed by: Guy Hamilton
Cast List: Sean Connery, Honor Blackman, Gert Frobe, Shirley Eaton, Tania Mallett, Harold Sakata

Film: "Thunderball"
Channel: AMC (USA)
Date: Thursday 18th May 2006
Time: 22:15

Sean Connery is still getting a kick out of the role, but he`s less the suave spy and more the man of action. Adolfo Celi makes a worthy opponent, but Claudine Auger is one of the least memorable Bond girls. Director Terence Young never quite solves the pacing problems posed by filming underwater, but John Stears`s Oscar-winning special effects more than compensate.

Director: Terence Young
Main Cast: Sean Connery, Claudine Auger, Adolfo Celi, Luciana Paluzzi, Rik Van Nutter, Martine Beswick
