It has been said that the most popular movie set in Kentucky is "Goldfinger." The gold vault at Fort Knox does have gold and things placed for safekeeping. Kentucky has a long tradition of having persons join the armed services. The gold vault was located so that the soldiers could assist the facility if there was an emergency. But the idea of great riches or great excess does not really fit Kentucky. The gaudy, the extreme; those are not Kentucky things. So the movie "Goldfinger" is born of Kentucky; a film set in Kentucky and very much apart from Kentucky.
