Gold

I liked the movie. It started out slow and I wasn't sure what to make of it, but I kept watching and realized that it's basically a scheme to corner the Gold market by the grandson-in-law of the owner of one of the largest Gold mines in South Africa. Along the way we meet the character that Roger Moore plays who comes across as a maverick or maniac when it comes to the mine, that is not afraid to take risks and to have a plan just in case something happens. He meets the granddaughter of the owner and the two have chemistry and the granddaughters husband sees that and is willing to use his wife to get even richer. The action builds slowly but when the mine is in trouble, Roger Moore's character will stop at nothing to save the mine. In the end, he succeeds and he gets the girl as her husband meets his fate and death. When the movie was made, Roger Moore had already starred as James Bond. The music score is good as well as are the supporting cast & characters. I watched the DVD on a CRT based TV set and had no issues with it.

Great story line. It did have "dead spots" where not much happened other than simple dialogue. But the action scenes made up for it..!!

Good movie starring Roger Moore.

This is truly a movie to see time and again. It has it all - an engrossing and intelligent plot, the right character actors for each role, location (filmed in Africa), nasty villains, hero's, romance, etc. It all plays out so well that I simply cannot understand why this movie was off the radar screen?! Roger Moore was never cast better - and certainly full-filled his part better than any role I've seen him in. See this movie, and if you truly don't agree with my description - well, you are one hard person to please!!

The blu-ray looks great. I was just disappointed in the film itself. It was too long for the story it was telling. And, the acting could have been better. It was released during the disaster movie period but doesn't have enough of that. As a romance, it falls flat. As intrigue, it...well---you get the idea. Sorry, Roger.

This movie is fast paced, features Roger Moore in his pre-bond prime and stars the always lovely and beguiling Susannah York. With Bradford Dillman and Ray Milland, Gold proves to be an adventure, a mystery, and an international thriller all in one. The film needs to be remastered, but it enjoyable when one considers the very reasonable price of the DVD. For Roger Moore and Susannah York fans I recommend it highly.

Gold is not one of the better outings for Roger Moore who played James Bond for so many films and some other great titles. I gave up on this boring film even though there are so many good people in the cast. It would have been a better outing if there had been a better script Susanah York, Ray Milland, and Bradford Dillman are wasted and I do not recommend this fimm to anyone who likes these actors

Gold certainly comes over better in widescreen than it does in the cropped and edited TV and Public Domain prints that have been floating around for years. The first of Roger Moore's trio of South African shot adventures (along with Shout at the Devil and The Wild Geese), it's very much of its time: this being the mid-70s, the villains are easy to spot - they're the ones who wash their hands, don't smoke and aren't any good in the sack - while the good guys aren't afraid of a little dirt or sleeping with the boss's wife. Along with Moore the credits are littered with many of the regular Bond team most of whom would go through the same flooding-the-mine routine again in A View To a Kill - but then, since the film's hiking-up-the-price-of-gold premise is borrowed from Goldfinger (albeit a tad more credible than setting off a nuclear bomb in Fort Knox), there's no real cause for complaint. Like Elmer Bernstein and Jimmy Helms' title song, it's not subtle but it's an entertaining two hours if it catches you in the right mood. At present, the only 2.35:1 widescreen transfer available is Ascot Media's legit German release. It's a pretty good transfer too, offering a stereo English soundtrack (there are slight synch problems in the last half hour, but these appear to be down to the original dubbing of the film as it's often only a line here and there). No real extras apart from a poorly reproduced stills gallery though.

J'ai apprécié le luxe des receptions de Ray Milland qui est parfait en magnat snob et le marivaudage de Roger Moore, très OO7 mais je me suis ennuyé dans ces couloirs miniers meme si l'histoire est véridique presque documentaire dans les faits .

Gute Qualität. Tolles Preis- sowie Leistungsverhältnis. Würde ich immer wieder bestellen. . . . . . . . . .

2度目のボンド役を演じた 『OO７ 黄金銃を持つ男』から間髪おかず公開された ロジャー・ムーア主演の大作。 南アフリカ共和国ヨハネスブルグ郊外にある 世界最大の金鉱を壊滅させて 世界の金価格を暴騰させようと企む ゴールドフィンガーばりの大陰謀を食い止められるか否か？ 監督は『女王陛下のOO７』のピーター・ハント。 原作者ウィルバー・スミスがスタンリー・ブライスと共同で脚本を執筆。 音楽は『大脱走』『荒野の七人』のエルマー・バーンスタイン。 『OO7 ﾕｱ･ｱｲｽﾞ･ｵﾝﾘｰ』で監督に昇格し ロジャー・ボンド引退までつき合ったジョン・グレンが編集を手掛けている。 時は折しも『ポセイドン・アドベンチャー』に端を発した “パニック映画”の大ブーム。 本作が載ったキネ旬の“外国映画紹介”欄でも 『大地震』『エアポート７５』 と肩を並べるカタチで紹介されて ブームの凄まじさを物語る。 1968年に実際に起こった事故を元にしてるとは言え 全体的な印象はパニックよりも古き英国伝統の冒険小説より。 劇中、ムーアとスザンナ・ヨークがセスナ機で訪れた別荘の周辺には ヌーやカモシカの群れあそぶ絵に描いたような"野生の王国"。 別荘に向かうジープを 先導するように走るダチョウの姿は ハント監督が後に撮るTVM『猛獣大脱走 全市民避難せよ！』を思わせる。 その他、特典映像として 本作品に加え THE NAKED FACE(未公開) ：ロジャー・ムーア THE KILLING SISTER GEORGE『甘い抱擁』 ：スザンナ・ヨーク PANIC IN YEAR ZERO『性本能と原爆戦』 ：レイ・ミランド CHOSEN SUVIVARS『大襲来吸血こうもり』 ：ブラッドフォード・ディルマン The Wicked Lady『二つの顔の貴婦人』 ：ジョン・ギールガッド と、主要出演者のトレイラーを収録されていて、 なんかこっちの方も見たくなってきた。 ※ import品なので日本語字幕も吹き替えも無し

I really liked the movie, lots of action, Roger Moore at his best
