Probably the most misogynistic scene of the James Bond movies.
It’s surprising to see James Bond (Sean Connery) show some level-headedness in Goldfinger (1964) when Tilly Masterson (Tania Mallet) honks and aggressively passes him on the roadway. Just as 007 is about to floor it and throw into high gear, his better angels overcome the temptation and he keeps his focus on the task at hand: tracking Goldfinger. It’s a rare occurrence to see Bond show such restraint, and refer to himself as 007 in the third person, for that matter.
