Terry O'Neill took this photograph of Honor Blackman having a bi❀t of fun on the set of Goldfinger. It is not believed to have been part of the official production stills released to news agencies. However, it does has a Rex Features Ltd. stamp on the reverse, which indicates that Rex Features had it in their portfolio. Rex Features Ltd. were a news agency responsible for distributing publicity photographs in the 1960s. 

This is a rare candid photograph.

This was the third time that Sean Connery would play James Bond 007, and the first of four Bond films that Guy Hamilton would d💛irect. It is a hugely popular film in the Bond series, with the unforgettable lines: "Do you expect me to talk? No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die."
