John Barry reveals his Goldfinger theme almost did not make the film

Composer John Barry's legendary theme song for the 1964 James Bond movie Goldfinger almost didn't make the film, because a producer thought it "the worst f**king song I ever heard".

Film-maker Harry Saltzman was livid when Barry delivered the Shirley Bassey-sung classic to him - reports PR Inside.

And it was only down to time constraints that the song was left in.

Barry says, "I got a phone call from Harry. He never used to come down to recording sessions, and he says, 'John, that is the worst f**king song I ever heard in my life. We open in three weeks' time, otherwise I'd take that f**king song out of the picture. I'd take it out! Out!'"
