Museum of Fine Arts, Houston presents Wheels on Reels. The MFAH exhibition Sculpted in Steel: Art Deco Automobiles and Motorcycles, 1929–1940 inspires this series of classic movies that celebrate memorable cars and their drivers.

Goldfinger

Directed by Guy Hamilton
1964
UK/USA
110 minutes
DCP

Sean Connery is at his most debonair as James Bond investigates Auric Goldfinger’s (Gert Fröbe) gold smuggling operation and uncovers a plot to rob the impenetrable Fort Knox in Kentucky.

Bond trades in his Bentley for an Aston Martin DB5, a car that becomes almost as famous as Connery after Goldfinger.

Honor Blackman is Pussy Galore, a martial arts expert and pilot who takes down Bond more than once in the film, and Harold Sakata is Oddjob, the mute villain who uses his razor-brimmed hat as an effective weapon.

The Montrose Management District
board workshop meeting scheduled for April 3
