Barry himself felt that Goldfinger (1964) was the first film in the series where he had complete creative control over the soundtrack.
  
  
• The opening scene where James Bond is stalked and killed by Red Grant was originally written to appear later in the film. However, editor Peter R. Hunt figured it would work better as a teaser at the start of the movie, thus instigating the now-traditional pre-credits sequence.
  
  
• James Bond doesn't appear until 17 minutes and 15 seconds in the movie.
  
  
• The receptionist at the Istanbul Hotel at which James Bond stays has the same voice as Honey Rider in Dr. No (1962). This is because Nikki Van der Zyl dubbed both Ursula Andress in that movie and the receptionist. She also dubbed Claudine Auger as Domino in Thunderball (1965).

Here it is a green-black Derby Bentley Mark IV ½ Liter Sports Tourer drophead coupé convertible with MTS radio car-telephone, a uncommon toy for 1963 and only new to Britain at the time of the film. Bond never has a Bentley car again in a Bond film except for Casino Royale (1967) and Never Say Never Again (1983).

• Years earlier, Alfred Hitchcock was originally considered as director, with James Bond being played by Cary Grant and Grace Kelly lured out of retirement to play Tatiana Romanova.

• Actresses considered for the role of Tatiana Romanova included 'Pia Lindström (I)', Sally Douglas, Magda Konopka, Margaret Lee, Lucia Modugno, Sylva Koscina, Virna Lisi and Tania Mallet, the latter ended up getting the role of Tilly Masterston in Goldfinger (1964). Reportedly, the producers first choice had originally been 'Elga Andersen (I)' but she was allegedly deemed too difficult by the studio United Artists. As such, 1960 Miss Universe Daniela Bianchi got the part. Her voice was dubbed in the film by an uncredited Barbara Jefford.
  
  
• With the advent of the Cold War, producers Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman didn't want James Bond's main enemy to be Russian, so for the film version his nemesis is the criminal organization SPECTRE, seeking revenge for the death of their operative, Doctor No in Dr. No (1962).

• The love scene between Sean Connery and Daniela Bianchi caused censorship problems in Britain. In the scene, a sweating SPECTRE cameraman films James Bond and Tatiana Romanova in bed from a cabinet de voyeur. The British Board of Film Censors mandated to producers Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman that the voyeurism in the scene was too explicit and to keep the footage of the cameraman as minimal as possible or face risking having the whole sequence censored.

The Ultra Network's activities were not released until 1975 in a book called "A Man Called Intrepid". Fleming's friend Sir William Stevenson wrote the book which was published at the time when the closed period on wartime secrets expired and the records were finally declassified.

• The production was beset with production problems which posed serious problems for the assemblage of the film.

One month after his scenes were completed, Armendariz, in emulation of his friend Ernest Hemingway, committed suicide.
  
  
• This is the second and final appearance in the James Bond films of Sylvia Trench. The original plan was for Sylvia to be a recurring character like Miss Moneypenny, but the idea was dropped after this film. Here and in Dr. No (1962), she was played by Eunice Gayson.

The pier James Bond takes off from is at Lunga House and the scene where the flaming barrels are thrown off the boat in Loch Craignish Ardfern, Argyll.
  
  
• The collapsing rifle given to Bond isn't a gimmick, but was an Armalite AR-7 survival rifle which was a production item which actually does disassemble and fit into its stock. However it fires the .22 long rifle cartridge, not .25 caliber as was stated in the film. As of 2005, it is still in production, although not by Armalite.

• SPOILER: The type of poison put in Tatiana Romanova's drink at dinner by Red Grant / Captain Nash on the Orient Express train was Chloryl Hydrate, a sleeping potion.
  
  
• SPOILER: Kronsteen's death, the boat chase, the opening sequence with the fake Bond being killed by Red Grant, and all scenes with Blofeld were not in the original novel. These were inventions of the film version, most of which due in part to the fact that the main enemy agency was changed to the fictitious SPECTRE rather than SMERSH, which at one time was a real Soviet counterintelligence agency.
  
  
• SPOILER: In the novel, Bond is actually killed by Klebb with her shoe knife. It was intended to be the last novel because Ian Fleming was frustrated with the lack of success the novels had had. But when it turned out to be an unexpected bestseller, Fleming continued instead. He considered From Russia With Love to be the best one of all the Bond novels.
