Two of the most iconic James Bond characters of all time — the aptly named Pussy Galore and hat-hurling bad-guy sidekick Oddjob — appear in Goldfinger, screening tonight and tomorrow at the Cleveland Institute of Art Cinematheque. It’s the film’s 50th anniversary, which means that Sean Connery (who plays Agent 007) is really, really old. Goldfinger is the third in the Bond saga, following Dr. No (1962) and From Russia with Love (1963). Precious metals magnate Auric Goldfinger seeks global domination via the disruption of the American gold supply at Fort Knox in this oh-so-’60s tale of international espionage. Tickets are $9 for tonight’s 9:15 screening. Same for tomorrow at 7:15. (Allard)
