Fun Fact #3:
The sound effects used for the car crushing sequence were resused in Steven Spielberg's *"DUEL"* (after
The Tanker crashed into David Mann's car before it fell down the cliff -
only in the film's original Mono Mix)
and *"JAWS"* (when the Orca's engine began to cough up black smoke as Quint sped up his boat, before the engine explodes, stranding Chief Brody, Quint, & Hooper on a slowly sinking ship).
It's still my favorite one in the series!
It might not be the best written one.
but the character of Goldfinger, Sean Connery's performance makes this movie still so engaging and entertaining to watch. Even all these years later
"This is when the franchise truly started to become its own unique thing outside of the novels." Great observation.
The scene where Solo is squished: Like many items in earlier Bond films, you have to be of a certain age to appreciate this scene. The Lincoln Continental here was the apex luxury car in the US at the time. A custom black Lincoln Continental of this type was the presidential car, that President Kennedy was assassinated in, in 1963. There is a reason that the camera lingers a bit on the car before the wrecking jaws plunge into the roof.
A younger generation might find the crushing of the car slow and boring.... but I assure you, back in 1964 a person would be thinking, "Holy Cow!....they're crushing a Lincoln Continental!" A well made side scene that further demonstrates how wealthy and powerful Goldfinger is, to destroy such a beautiful car just to off some mob guy. (Akin to going that extra villain style mile by painting Jill Masterson gold, rather than just leaving her dead in Bond's bed.)
Fort Knox gold set: Long ago the public could go in small tour groups and actually see the gold holding room in the New York Federal Reserve building. In it is the gold of foreign governments, central banks, and institutions .... sent mostly for safekeeping to the US during WWII. At its height approx 12,000 tons of monetary gold was stored here... more than the 10,500 suggested by Bond for Ft. Knox's holdings. I mention this as I was on that tour several times...the gold is held in compartments looking very small and very boring. (One can google NY Fed gold vault and see pictures.) It is certainly nothing like the absolutely stunning set in "Goldfinger". That set is truly an inspired marvel !
Again, in any period category for early Bond films, "Goldfinger" is my #1 ( with #2 being "From Russia With Love")
I agree entirely about the crushing of the Lincoln Continental. There’s also the added sadism of having Mr Solo’s body crushed along with the vehicle (and James Bond would have no way of knowing if Solo was crushed alive or not).
And I view the Fort Knox set along the same lines as the set at Auric Enterprises with the Fort Knox model revolving into place, the enormous black and white photograph swinging down, and the moving floor-it all makes no sense if you think about it for 10 seconds (why would Goldfinger have such an elaborate setup for two minutes of exposition?) but you’re not _supposed_ to think about it at all. (Similarly, Goldfinger could just have Bond killed in any number of ways-he doesn’t have to set up a high-tech laser to slice him down the middle-but where’s the fun in that? The movie is _entertainment_ above all else, except making money, that is.) It just fits the audience’s fantasy of the type of thing a Bond villain would set up, just like Ken Adam’s most-renowned set, the War Room in _Dr Strangelove,_ fits what audiences _could_ imagine such a room might look like.
@@jeff__w
Excellent comparison about the "Dr. Strangelove" war room set....completely agree.
When you're recapping Thunderball, it would be funny if you added a "Did I mention that Domino is really hot?" counter
Oh yeah, I don't think I ever mentioned that! Good one! 😜
Regarding the barn scene, I think intent is very important. The filmmakers didn't intend for it to be rapey. When Alec forcibly kisses Natalya on the train in GoldenEye, the intent of the filmmakers is to show he is a nasty despicable person. The intent of the barn scene in Goldfinger is to show a playful seduction. This was done in a way that was an acceptable portrayal for its time. In more enlightened times after society has evolved from the 1960s, modern audiences might not view it as playful seduction and they are correct. But it is unfair to criticise a 1960s film for failing to live up to the standards of the 21st century when the filmmakers didn't intend to portray anything malicious..
Exactly 🍸 Same page as you may have gathered from my video
Exactly what’s wrong with society today.
You can’t cancel culture.
1960 was 1960. Can’t apply today to the past otherwise why haven’t all Pot Users jailed been released.
Just a thought.
My interpretation when I saw the film in the 90s: Either I knew her character was a lesbian or I just figured it from clues, especially the “your charm won’t work one me” line. That’s about as far as you could go in the 60s to imply being gay. A guy like Bond back then wouldn’t accept that. So he was trying to break the “spell” and have her “come to her senses,” which back in the 60s, sadly the prevailing attitude was, “she just needs to find the right man” and everything will be ok. I think that’s what the filmmakers were going for as it was a masculine idea at the time that someone could be “cured” of it if you were sexy enough.
You're right. I don't think the scenes have aged well by today's standards (rightfully so), but in the early Bond movies, we have to look at the scenes with nuance and the context in the time this was made. The world was pretty shitty and backwards. Bond did what he did in order to get her to succumb to his charms and do whatever he wants - save the lives of the people in Fort Knox. I get it, but yeah that's not the way to get someone to like you. At all.
The nuance behind it is that Bond is a heroic character but does flawed things, because "the ends justify the means". It's been that way since the Ian Fleming novels. That being said, I much prefer the heroic, badass aspects of the character and when he actually gives a shit about people (like the Dalton ones). Not so much the sexist, r***y shit from the 60's/70's Bond movies.
I thought the 'Dink' scene at the start of the movie was more out of touch with today's attitude, a slap on the backside and "man talk" ....
13:54 Another tidbit of information concerning the gold vault, it was made mention to the producer that it was a striking resemblance to the real thing. Only a handful of people have seen the interior of the vault.
Nothing about Goldfinger is overrated but many Bond films have an edge over it. FRWL, OHMSS, and CR have better plots, action and set pieces. Goldfinger could've easily been an Octopussy, AVTAK or TND but its all down to how perfectly executed every aspect is. Not saying those are bad films but they're more "carry-on" movies. They have the same clever plot beats and ingredients as Goldfinger but not the combination of casting, direction, score and stylings to leave it feeling more like "true cinema" if that makes sense.
I've always preferred the more meaty Bond plots with more characters, espionage and twists. Goldfinger is the other type of Bond story, which is pure Bond-villain relationship. Think the Moonraker novel vs the Casino Royale one. I'll always love Goldfinger as both great entertainment and a cinematic revolution, but it's definitely beneath some of the other films I mentioned.
Love how you even comment on the suits James Bond wears. Clothes maketh the man! Dressing like a gentleman is a big part of the James Bond persona. Superb breakdown.
Yesss it is here! Can’t wait for thunder ball next!
Thunderball the book review will come first - (as that happens to be next up as well!) But it will definitely also receive a "Reloaded' remake!
@@DutchBondFanthat’s excellent, I might start supporting on patreon soon
I'm in the "slightly overrated" camp, with emphasis on slightly. I think it has possibly the best opening of any Bond film, and that really helps to set the mood, but I like both the Bond girls and the villains a bit more in, say, Thunderball (but that movie does not have the best opening IMO). I think my favorite is From Russia With Love though.
Fun Fact #2:
Bond girl Honor Blackman and several other actors in the Bond films previously starred in the 1958 Titanic docudrama film: *"A Night To Remember".*
She played Mrs. Liz Lucas, a 1st Class wife who was convinced by her husband, Robbie, to get into a lifeboat with their 3 children, though he stayed behind.
Michael Goodliffe (Bill Tanner, *"The Man With The Golden Gun")* played Titanic's designer Thomas Andrews.
Laurence Naismith (Sir Donald, *"Diamonds Are Forever")* played Titanic's captain Edward John Smith.
Desmond Llewelyn (Q, 1963-1971, 1974-1999) played a steward that kept 3rd Class passengers from entering 1st Class.
Peter Burton (Q, *"Dr. No")* played a 1st Class steward.
Geoffrey Bayldon (Q, *"Casino Royale 1967")* played Californian's wireless operator Cyril Evans.
Alec McCowen (Algernon or "Algy", *"Never Say Never Again")* played Carpathia's wireless operator Harold Cottam.
Jeremy Bulloch (Smithers, *"For Your Eyes Only"* & *"Octopussy")* played a boy that jumped into the water.
Sean Connery supposedly had a
cameo somewhere in the film,
but this was confirmed to be false.
Although, according to the Cast &
Crew Commentary of *"TITANIC"*
(1997), Connery & Gene Hackman
were at first considered to play
the treasure hunter Brock Lovett, before they eventually went with Bill Paxton.
Interesting fact: "Goldfinger"(1964) is the only Sean Connery "EON Productions" James Bond film that didn't end with the scene where Bond and Bond girl were in a boat/life raft/ship..........
Right! So few Bond fans seem to catch the fact that they all end in a boat…but one.
Excellent review. The film has issues and is far from being my favourite Bond film, but the impact it had on the rest of the series cannot be underestimated. It really needs to be judged at the time of it's release not 2023. Just to add, it's also one of the shorter Bond films in terms of running time, which helps it a lot. It's a really tight story that doesn't get bogged down with loads of subplots that some of the more recent films suffer from.
Excellent analytical skills! I mean this flight from Switzerland to the USA. If Pussy is Goldfinger's personal pilot, where the hell is Goldfinger??? It's absolutely crazy!!! Weird that I never thought of it myself...
I think it's pretty good. Great review as usual. Watching from trinidad in the Caribbean.
We have people everywhere 🍸
Great review, can tell you put a lot of work into this. I think comparing it to Thunderball Thunderball has the better story, Spectre holding the world to ransom is more interesting than a gold horder, but I think Goldfinger is executed better, it's maybe down to the direction, there's so many memorable moments.
Nice to have you back!
Good to see you back Jeroen. I've never really understood the argument that Bond does little towards his mission in Goldfinger. Without him Goldfinger would have succeeded in radiating the gold at Fort Knox. Bond is captured so has to thwart Goldfinger in any way he can. I think you put your points across regarding this very well Jeroen. It's certainly not overrated and probably sits in my top 5 Bond films.. certainly top 10. Connery is at the top of his game. So many iconic scenes and my favourite Bond villain make Goldfinger in my opinion a classic.
Goldfinger is a masterpiece! 🙌🏻
I’ve never understood why people in every review even question the reason Goldfinger briefs condemned gangsters. The answer is in the movie. Bond says to Goldfinger: “I did enjoy your briefing”. Goldfinger answers “So did I”, a cue sounds, he turns away and rather callously leaves. Yes, he did enjoy his own briefing, this is the reason. There is so much emphasis put on this moment in the movie, and I’m furious people never mention this while talking about the issue.
Then later I do adress exactly this though!
You know I’m watching every episode even if you recap these movies 007 more times!
Hi DBF I love this series. Your unique irreverant style makes me chuckle great work mate thanks!
I'll take irreverant as a compliment! I guess to me its just Dutch directness 😝
Indeed a cinematic masterpiece! And yes one of the few instances where the movie improves upon the book. Goldfinger in some ways is the first fully formed Bond film, with the entire formula in place.
WeLcome back and great video! Yeah I agree that despite its minor flaws that this is just classic Bond. Iv always thought as well that Goldfinger was just showing off to the gangsters describing his plan to raid Fort Knox even though he had no intention of letting them live.
Really does make no sense why he lets Oddjob drive around with the one guy and gold in the boot. Why go to so much trouble? Then again,he is insane and insane men irrational choices.
Hats off to you Jeroen. Not only are you one of the most knowledgeable and biggest Bond fans on the planet, you're also super funny... I really enjoy your work❤. Can't wait for the Thunderball revisited episode 😍
Thank you very much!
My personal favourites are OHMSS and Diamonds, for very different reasons. This one lies between them, with its gags not as many nor as funny and its action not as great or its stakes as high. But it is the perfect Bond movie. I think you underrate the sensational song. It is outrageous and set the scene for a movie that was, for 1964, simply outrageous, while still being utter fun.
Amazing cars in this movie. Love all those wonderful Ford products in Goldfinger, especially those '64 Lincolns
The Ford Thunderbird was reused in Thunderball. So was the clock on the lavatory door on GF's plane.
Nice job on these uploads. A few items I’d like to address. In Part 1, you twice referred to the brand new Ford Mustang as a Ford Thunderbird. Also, in the Fort Knox flyover sequence, the lethal gas wasn’t replaced with something to put everyone to sleep… the soldiers were just instructed to fake it when the planes passed overhead… which is why their reaction looks so unrealistic.
I'm so happy!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Goldfinger was my first bond movie. I remember everyone cheering when the movie was released and over
excellent review and a valid conclusion!
Thanks for the vid DBF!!!!!!
re: "Kentucky" sequences. Much of that was filmed in the Miami area. There were some scenes actually filmed in Kentucky, but that was taken by a skeleton crew in Kentucky. The main scenes: The soldiers (actual soldiers) filmed in Fort Knox. Those scenes were among the last filmed.
I always laughed at those soldiers who appear at the Fort Knox vault entrance to find someone they don't know in a dress uniform who's somehow already there before them, is armed with a gold-plated revolver and who has a German accent - and they don't question any of this for one second.
Yeah its crazy 😂😂😂
In the U.K. print, it says, "The End of Goldfinger, James Bond will return On Her Majesty's Secret Service." The U.S. print says, "The End of Goldfinger, James Bond will return in Thunderball." This movie is the first movie (ever) where a Ford Mustang appears.
I prefer FRWL for Connery which may be my favourite of all Bond films. But this is a lot of fun, even if the plot holes grate.
Fun Fact #4:
While Gert Fröbe was dubbed in
the film by Michael Collins, Gert's
undubbed voice can still be heard
in the lines: "Except crime!",
"The underground will rock with
applause for centuries.", and "It
can be, I think the expression is blown!"
Also, Gert's voice can be heard in the film's trailer with the line: "Choose
your next witticism carefully, Mr. Bond. It may be your last.", though they then used Michael Collins' dubbed line of dialogue: "No, Mr. Bond! I expect you to DIE!"
Another enjoyable romp on Bond. Thanks!
Very good video.
I knew that Sean made many films during his 6 decades but only in recent years did I learn now many. An interview he gave in 1967 to F LEE BAILEY he was able to keep all his clothes from his films.
Sean made a film called Woman of Straw starring alongside Gina Lollobrigida and Ralf Richardson
It was released in around April 64 but was filmed between August and October 1963.
Spoiler Alert
At the wedding reception Sean wears White Tuxedo
This was one and the same he wore in GOLDFINGER
I wonder what has happened to all of Sean’s clothes from all his films up to 2003?
❤️❤️🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧👍 👍 🙏🙏
You've made a persuasive case; and well done for picking the film apart. I have two concerns about Goldfinger that hold it back for me. The first is that I think your phrase, 'it pretty much has something iconic on the screen every ten minutes', is true, and is the film's big disadvantage. For me the iconography overshadows the story. This is also true of The Spy Who Loved Me. The second problem is common to James Bond movies, but happened first in Goldfinger, of what to do with Bond when he is introduced early to the villain. The villain has to find ingenious ways to dispose of him, he has to find ingenious ways to survive. It becomes tedious; which the villain usually admits. I watched all the films in order of release date last week and assessed them on a ten point ranking scale, an attempt to be objective and put all preferences aside. I recommend this. Goldfinger was in 19th place at 76 percent
I've loved the movie since '64, but another unrealistic moment is the small pickup carrying a Lincoln Continental, which squashed or not, weighs 5,500 pounds.
Bond's last line in the film, "This is no time to be rescued.", is one I've paraphrased on occasion, when a TV series has somehow gotten axed just at the point where it had gotten better than ever: "This is no time to be cancelled!"
Amazing video, I love goldfinger
Great review. If you look for logic, Goldfinger will not look that good. If you purely take it as entertainment, you can enjoy it any time. I kindly suggest you to do a video on below topics
1) Dr No vs Goldfinger movies. First one that got Bond on to screen and the other one that perfected. Dr No also has its iconic settings and one liners. Its more tense. So a comparison would be great.
2) What if Fleming was alive after 1964...what kind of novels we could have expected and their influence on movies. I have read all the novels and I felt that by the time of last novel The Man With The Golden Gun, Fleming had reached some kind of irony in life and its reflects in the tone of the Bond characterization. Only if he would had been more active.
I think goldfinger just keeping bond there was smarter than most think. Remember when felix and that dude see him with goldfinger and say not to interrupt him because he's clearly making progress. Goldfinger in his mind had MI6 convinced bond was fine and didn't need help or a replacement. Which is exactly what happened. He only had backup way way later. The personal pilot point though I 100% agree is true.
If you were to ask a random person on the street to name a Bond film, they would probably say Goldfinger, it's just iconic.
This film had me at "hello". Mind you, I was a smaller child when I first saw it, and a grandfather-influenced car-bore to boot, I couldn't have been less taken had the film been a magpie and I made of diamonds.
Oddjob’s faceplant is one of the most convincing falls in cinematic history. I heard it registered on the Richter scale.
Great Review.I agree it is a Masterpiece.
That’s a great story about the sound designer using a toy recorder for the sound effect. The recorder probably had an element to it that couldn’t be created in a studio and it was all a happy accident. That’s how the best things happen.
Its a fantastic story, of course told much more lively first hand by Norman himself. But yes - amazing how that came together!
Great pair of videos you have done Jeroen. We disagree alot about this film Goldfinger but it is OK. I just don't see why ppl love this film so much. Oh well 😂
Spent a 55 minute video trying to get across why 😝 Ohwell, can't win em all! 🍸 (Glad you enjoyed though!)
@@DutchBondFan its Bond being a prisoner for almost 50 minutes is the biggest turn off for me. Again, I don't think the film is terrible. I just need to be in the mood to watch Goldfinger. From the Sean Connery Bond films, I will always rather watch You Only Live Twice, Thunderball, and From Russia With Love before watching Goldfinger.
You’d have to be alive in the ‘60s with the way technology was rapidly evolving, especially in cinema, to fully appreciate why this film is iconic and so appreciated.
5:25 They needed to have the plot explained but Bond to find out by listening in but unlike the book, they have no use for the gangsters after this, hence why Goldfinger kills them off. It's clunky but makes the exposition more interesting to watch I suppose.
Happy bond got pushy.. Good vid....
I did two videos on Goldfinger on this fight between Bond and Oddjob, and The chase with DB5 on my channel and this film is a Masterpiece of the series
Goldfinger is the blueprint for all other Bond films.
Goldfinger has creative geography. We're told that Goldfinger's jet would arrive at Blue Grass Field. In 1964, that was in Lexington, Kentucky. Lexington is 80 miles from Louisville, Kentucky Louisville is *another 35 miles* from Fort Knox. Apparently, Auric Stud is in Louisville. That's still not very close to Fort Knox. In real life, *I went to Fort Knox* in 1980 for work. The geography is totally messed up.
One point just occured to me - the original crime for which Goldfinger is investigated ,(smuggling gold) for is not the crime with which the movie ends and the original crime plot actually go nowhere.
Yeah true. Something often happening in Bond come to think of it. But he dies so its sort of 'resolved'.
@@DutchBondFan-- Al Capone was never convicted for MOST of his crimes. They had to get him for something comparitively trivial... income tax evasion. But at least they got him for something! 😄
As time goes on. Thunderball is the
Quintessential bond movie and ohmss.
United Artists *seriously* considered changing the character name from Pussy Galore to Kitty Galore.
Connery is at peak Bond here I feel, he'll never be better at playing Bond than in Goldfinger, at least joint first best Bond villain...and so many franchise plot points started here.
So for me at least this all mounts up to my personal favourite Bond film.
Could you reshoot the barrel sequence and this time turn round faster than a geriatric corpse?
I am Dutch. We move relaxed, but are very direct in hitting the mark! 😜
5:46 *ten millions tomorrow (with the s!)
I love the movie, especially cause of Connery's charisma, but i have a very hard Time to understand why it's a fan favourite. I prefer, by far, From Russia, and i Can place easily Thunderball at least at the same level of appréciation than this third film.
I don't like the attitude fans will have that saying a iconic classic is bad cause most causals instantly love it meanwhile movies like OHMSS that are rightfully ignored and not cared about some fan's claim Lazenby did a good job or could've been as good as Connery in it ridiculous
Regardless of Goldfinger's faults, I'd never say it's overrated. It's just the formula has been rehashed ever since, so there's a danger that the faults tend to stand out far greater than the positives. Honestly though, has Bond ever been cooler than Sean Connery single handedly destroying a drugs factory, then casually strolling into a bar in a white tuxedo?
Great observation video but tunderball to me more than I like it just my opinion
This movie irritates me because it's the film that "pg'd" 007 from an "R" character. In the book, Galore, a lesbian with life experience, basically changed sides to stay out of jail, and Bond decides to exonerate her after she becomes intimate with him. In other words, she probably seduced him to avoid jail, which is very realistic. In the film Bond's magic penis flips her loyalty. Silly. The book had 007 use his personal concealed shoe heel daggers to plan knifing Goldfinger, but he changes on the fly to taking down the plane along with himself, with the dagger to the window. The films never showed Bond's heel daggers (which always irritated me, but at least Bond killed with knives in Dr No and FRWL), and Goldfinger goes through the plane window in a comical depiction rather than being strangled by Bond (as was literary Blofeld). As far as the barn scene WHO CARES what Bond did, she was about to murder thousands of soldiers and it was Bond's last ditch attempt to stop a mass murder. In the book, Bond got the note to Felix by himself, and Galore wasn't the one that was going to poison the troops, it was going to be other henchmen poisoning the soldiers by water, Felix stopped it. In the film, this woman was about to drop nerve gas on an Army base full of humans, so I don't really see why people GAF what Bond did to her. Plus, it was just a silly fight scene to show 007 having a judo match with Blackman who was known for being a judoka and martial arts scenes in the Avengers show. The novels' buzz saw torture being replaced by a laser, Bond being dumb enough to bed Jill in the same hotel where he had just blackmailed Goldfinger (unrealistically stupid for Bond), when in the book he ran off with her and traveled for a while only finding out later she was dead having been dumb enough to go back to Goldfinger afterward (unwise on her part but realistic), omitting the fact that Jill's job was to have sex with GF in gold paint to satisfy his gold fetish ("just seen", ok) all just neutered the tone. Connery is great and my favorite, but it's hard to believe this Bond making funny faces at guards was the same guy who knifed Red Grant on the Orient Express in the last film. I do give the film credit for the scene where GF murders the mobsters, it was to hilariously subvert expectations of those who read the novel and the stupid concept of actually stealing the gold, I did appreciate that alteration.
I think Goldfinger is good but it’s not my favourite Connery bond film. That Honour will go to You Only Live Twice.
Meh, its no A View to a Kill good, but ok. Just kidding! Honestly i think it comes down to if a person enjoys older cinema or not. Some people cringe at the thought of watching a black and white movie. People today are only now discovering movies from the 80's. Those who grew up with older movies seem to feel them more and appreciate their value. Goldfinger brings back those feelings of younger days, and its much better than many current movies today.
Yeah, Goldfinger's reasoning for keeping Bond alive is questionable in both the film and the book. In the book, he didn't kill the gangsters; he needed them to help his scheme. Their killing in the movie makes zero sense. The reason the car crushing sequence goes on so long is that most people in the audience weren't familiar with the machine and was a novelty to them in those days. As for the grape scene, remember Bond is a "good bad guy". He made her enjoy it so it's OK. Alright, maybe not, but Connery's Bond is NOT a role model. He also blackmails a girl into sex in Thunderball, takes full advantage of femme fatales pretending to go for him, etc. He also shoots a guy in the back in From Russia with Love and shoots another guy in cold blood in Doctor No. I always had the idea that the cantina girl at the beginning of Goldfinger was a prostitute. The realistic Bond, his lack of direct action in this movie is also a bit of realism.
But of course you are but what's your name. Yeah. The next one was and still is my favorite.
I am among those that think it is overrated. I believe that "Iconic" doesn‘t necessarily "Good". Up to the laser scene, it is one of my favourite movies of the franchise. But after that, Bond being a prisoner for all this time lets it down a lot for me… The film gets really boring for me there…
I agree
I think Goldfinger keeps Bond alive cause he doesn't want to risk his agency coming after him if Bond doesn't report back until after the plan has succeeded remember why he said he would keep him alive he's still useful
Well yes, but he keeps him alive without having him report, so the result is the same as killing him. Goldfinger only kept him alive because of concern, but yet he isnt concerned anymore anyway. Get my point?
@@DutchBondFan I see your point
@@DutchBondFanGoldfinger assumes Bond isn’t the only MI6 asset observing him and rightly assumes that as long as Bond appears to still be under cover and not in distress, Bond’s superiors will not blow his cover by interfering. I don’t think this element of the story is the logical fallacy some people make of it.
I shur like your original
That is still on to be enjoyed too! But I did my best to bring forth this updated and more indepth upgrade to be enjoyed too!
Goldfinger is the first live-action movie I ever saw. I had no idea what was going on since I couldn't read subtitles but it didn't matter. Soundtrack and the cinematography kept 5 year old me hypontized!
It's not a bowler
