Goldfinger was serialised as a daily story and as a comic strip in the Daily Express, before it became the third James Bond feature film of the Eon Productions series, released in 1964 and starring Sean Connery as Bond. Flemings first novel Casino Royale was about a handsome British secret agent called James Bond. To stop Goldfinger, Bond will have to survive a showdown with the sinister millionaire’s henchman, Oddjob, a tenacious karate master who can kill with one well-aimed toss of his razor-rimmed bowler hat. ![]() Sent to investigate, Bond uncovers an ingenious gold-smuggling scheme, as well as Goldfinger’s most daring caper yet: Operation Grand Slam, a gold heist so audacious it could bring down the world economy and put the fate of the West in the hands of SMERSH.

The boy and his grandmother go to England because Luke's parents wanted him to attend school there. In the movie, for who knows what purposes, suddenly the boy has an American accent, his father is American, they live in America, the grandmother has diabetes (this storyline runs throughout the movie), and the parents pass away without him in the car. She falls ill with pneumonia so they can't go on a trip to Norway so they go to the English seaside. Upon the execution of his parents' will, his grandmamma (just grandma in the film) takes him to England. While there, he is in a car accident with his parents and he is the sole survivor. ) The book finds the narrator in Norway with parents visiting his grandmother. (And his grandmother Helga, and the Grand High Witch as Eva Ernst. In the book, the narrative is in first person so we never learn the boy's name fair enough that the movie named him Luke. (amiright or amiright?) However, even the basic setup of the movie is different. ![]() I suppose I was expecting the movie to just follow the book verbatim because you can't get source material better than Roald Dahl. ![]() ![]() ![]() Onomatopoeia (n) when a word sounds like the object it names or the sound that object makes for example: sizzle, hiccup, gurgle ![]() Title.Īnd a Valentine’s Day baby, to boot.

It was just one of the many times she embarrassed her parents in public. With all of the logic of a five-year-old, Jeaniene replied, “Yes, that’s what keeps the vampires away!” The first time she went to Sunday school, her minister pointed to the cross on the wall and asked her if she knew what it stood for. Everyone has a favorite “what if they were real?” creature. When she sat down to write her first novel, she knew it had to have her two favorite elements in it: urban fantasy and romance. It wasn’t until Jeaniene was almost thirty that she realized she’d either have to start now-or resign herself to never doing it. That same “plenty of time” mentality also lingered past her teens and through her twenties, however. Shortly after that, she read her first romance novel, and it was love at first read! She knew she wanted to write her own novel someday, but figured she had plenty of time. As a child, she and her sisters would watch horror movies at every opportunity. Jeaniene has always been drawn to the strange. ![]() ![]() ![]() Who had killed the 60-year-old and for what reasons? Described by the media as a ‘Brighton headmaster’, as well as leasing out various properties, Mr Cartland ran a language school in the Sussex town. Having also attacked Jeremy, the attacker(s) then set the Cartland’s Caravan alight before fleeing the scene. The autopsy revealed evidence of at least a dozen such blows, each of which could have been fatal. Indeed, the manner of death had been particularly violent: the skull had been effectively crushed and whoever had dealt these vicious blows had then gone on to hack the unfortunate man’s throat with an axe in what pathologist’s described as a ‘frenzied’ attack. In Spring 1973 Jeremy and his father, John had been travelling through southern France en route to Italy when the older man had been brutally murdered – ‘decapitated’ according to the tabloid press. So just how did this aspiring poet (and former English teacher) come to prominence that year? Indeed, rarely a day went by in that unforgettable spring and summer of ’73 without the handsome 29-year old’s face appearing in the papers. ![]() Back then “Jeremy Cartland” was as famous as Suzi Quatro, more so perhaps. Hands up who remembers the name Jeremy Cartland? While the name is virtually unknown nowadays, such was not the case back in 1973 when it was rarely out of the news headlines. ![]() author David Sedgwick reveals why he just had to write the story of a brutal, unsolved 1973 murder.
