Goldfinger returns to Andermatt


Event information
Description
Over the past two years, the Aurora gas station in Andermatt has undergone extensive restoration to bring it back to its 1964 condition, largely faithful to the original. A special highlight is the set of authentic gas pumps, which bring back the historic appearance of the film location as it was at that time. Also on display will be the Aston Martin DB5 with its tire-slashing device, the Ford Mustang from *Goldfinger*, and original movie props. At 2:00 p.m., we’ll hold a video presentation there about the filming of *Goldfinger* and the gas station. The event will feature a panel discussion with two special eyewitnesses: - Erich Nager was an extra on the *Goldfinger* set as a child and can even be seen in the finished film. - Madeleine Fryberg, along with her husband Reto, owned the Hotel Bergidyll, where the film crew led by Sean Connery stayed during production. This gives us two very different, firsthand perspectives on the 1964 filming—and both can recount their experiences from memory. Thus, a piece of international film history returns to its original setting in Andermatt. Together with the Aston Martin DB5, the Ford Mustang, and the restored gas station, this should also make for a wonderful combination that lends itself to striking photographs.
