I think Goldfinger was the only Bond-movie that actually improved on Ian Fleming's plot-story. One of the changes the movie made was to let Bond actually *see* the dead body of Jill Masterson (played by Shirley Eaton), rather than finding out about her death later on from her sister, as in the novel.

"She died of skin suffocation--it's been known to happen to cabaret dancers. It's all right--as long as you leave a patch unpainted to allow the skin to breathe."
"Someone obviously didn't."
"I think I know who."

The inking really conveys the sheen of gold in black and white! Fantastic!

I was pretty pleased how this came out - I was worried that because the skin was shiny that it would be way too difficult to render with solid black ink - but I found that by just breaking the areas down into actual values and hatching with the curve of each surface, I could get a pretty good rendering of it!
