This is one of the most difficult choices I´ve had here...
Although I agree Walkens have made great characters in films that have suited him, like Deer Hunter and Dead Zone, I find him uneven. Even in his Bondfilm. Although he seems to enjoy himself a lot, playing what was his childhood dream- a Bond villain!
Gert Fröbe is the guy who yo want at home, if you want a party. But his Goldfinger is both a wonderfully conjured up icon and a terriying opponent. He is also backed-up by the greatest Bondsong devoted to him. How great isn´t that?
Wiseman, on the other hand, dont have much screen time and has such a quick finale battle with Bond so its no match for Goldfinger. But Wiseman is a top nothch actor and what he does with his voice in this film is chilling: "-You came to warn ME?" - he tells Professor Dent when he haste to Dr No´s island. That always give me goosebumps! Great!
But I will hum Goldfinger as long as I am into Bond, everyday!
