On the occasion of the new James Bond film, we cordially invite you to a booksigning with Steffen Appel, who will present his book "The Goldfinger Files" on Saturday October 2, 2021.
The film Goldfinger sparked a true James Bond fever in 1964 and achieved worldwide fame. The special feature of this film was the shooting in Switzerland, which was open to the public.
The journalists, who were largely free to move around, created unique and extensive documentations of the making of the film. The image material is supplemented by private recordings of hotel employees who hosted the film crew during the shoot.
Co-author Steffen Appel is a huge James Bond who owns an archive with historical film photographs, film props and film-related materials, such as the original Aston Martin DB5 from 1965, which was used in 8 James Bond films as a company car from 007.The officially authorized James Bond car was an exhibition vehicle at Europe-wide TV, press and event appearances.
Steffen Appel was a VIP driver during the shooting of the film "Specter" and got to know Daniel Craig and other Bond actors. Daniel Craig's autograph is on the inner glove compartment lid, and other star autographs are immortalized in the trunk lid. The Aston Martin will be able to be examined during the booksigning. As a James Bond specialist, Steffen Appel will also be happy to answer your questions.
