The Production Design of Ken Adam - Goldfinger's rumpus room
| |
|
Everything in GOLDFINGER fairly drips with the opulence, style, and color for which the Bond series is known -- and all of it was created from the mind of Ken Adam, laid out in drawings inspired by his life experiences and sense of artistic possibility. "No design is worth doing if you just reproduce reality," he stresses. "I don't believe you can get a sense of reality by copying. I think you can get that better by NOT copying. But you must always be honest. You mustn't do things just to create chi-chi effects. You must have a reason."
Take Goldfinger's breathtaking Kentucky country estate, with its stables and Playboy Mansion-like play areas. Adam remembers that "We called the set where he keeps the harnesses and tack the rumpus room. . . I knew this rumpus room had to convert into a gas chamber, so all the walls were designed to close. Even the big stainless-steel fireplace came down so that no fresh air could get in. It was pretty horrifying, actually. And at the same time the other moving objects, like the billiard table, had a practical purpose by turning round and becoming the briefing model of the raid on Fort Knox. The rotating bar was a little gratuitous, but once I'd started I thought, 'I might as well!' So it turned from a rather harmless-looking, luxurious tack room into a combined War Room and gas chamber."
Check out the finished set in the following clip, and as each shot reveals new architectural glories and wonders, keep in mind that this isn't some real-life room rented from a billionaire's mansion, it's a movie set, built from scratch and designed from the ground up by Ken Adam. Theatergoers in 1964 were dazzled by these ingenious sets, and almost a half-century later they have yet to lose their ability to inspire awe.
