EUROPESERVICING 2008
DIRECTOR'S CUT: DAY 1 | SESSION 2
'Goldfinger'
Goldfinger starring Sean Connery, was the first of the James Bond series to reach blockbuster status and trigger the 007 craze.
The plot tracks James Bond as he tries to prevent a gold smuggler from detonating a nuclear bomb inside the Fort Knox gold depository.

The "director's cut" or "notes" were written by EuropeServicing's main host, Toni Moss, CEO of EuroCatalyst. Following in the film tradition of EuropeServicing 2006 (which was held at 195 Piccadilly, the home of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts) each session at EuropeServicing 2008 is themed with movie titles. While some see films as entertainment, others recognise the art of cinema as a record of the human condition. EuroCatalyst selected specific movies to theme and inspire discussion as we navigate through the treacherous waters of the global mortgage markets.
