The Aston Martin DB5 joins James Bond’s adventures in Goldfinger, airing on France 3 on Monday, October 19, 2026 at 9:10 p.m. Sean Connery plays 007 for the third time in this Guy Hamilton–directed film from 1964, released in France on February 18, 1965.
Bond investigates Auric Goldfinger, a businessman whose gold reserves captivate the Bank of England. Gert Fröbe stars as the foe, while Honor Blackman portrays Pussy Galore. The screenplay by Richard Maibaum and Paul Dehn adapts Ian Fleming’s novel first published in 1959.
This installment marks the first link between 007 and the DB5, now outfitted on screen with gadgets designed by Q Branch. Aston Martin pinpoints Goldfinger as the first time its car appeared in the franchise. That detail sets the film apart in Sean Connery’s early outings, beyond its storyline about the precious metal.
