Honor Blackman as Pussy Galore in Goldfinger (1964)

I must be dreaming

In Goldfinger (1964), Sean Connery’s Bond wakes up airborne and in a tranquillizer dart-induced haze. I love how an out-of-focus woman’s face comes into focus as if the movie audience recovers from Bond’s point of view.

Pussy Galore’s named introduction still elicits a guffaw reaction in me even to this day, and I’d imagine a theater-going audience would have audibly laughed at Bond’s “I must be dreaming” quip. Short scenes and exchanges like this from early Bond movies stand the test of time and fans can only hope future Bond movies are filled with gems like these.
