Thanks, Peebs and NoShear! You both gave excellent answers. I also discovered that Daniel Craig sings "Goldmine in the Sky" in Infamous (2006). Who knew?!
The thread is up for grabs.

That was some great teamwork, NoShear!
In thinking about the gold in your question, I did think of a couple other little items. A couple of James Bond actors have a "golden" connection in a couple other films. A classic Bond and a newer Bond. Does it ring any bells for anyone?

Is this kind of where you're going, NoShear? (I'll start then hit the hay -- I tend to free-associate rather, uh, freely, when I'm sleepy.)
gold:
Goldfinger (1964), The Man with the Golden Gun (1974), GoldenEye (1995)
gold and silver:
Quantum of Solace (2008) -- The antagonists meet in the Atacama Desert, a gold and silver mining region
the Royal Mint released gold and silver bullion in celebration of the 25th -- silver anniversary -- James Bond film, No Time to Die (2021)

Top Hat (1935) -- Ginger Rogers storms upstairs to scold Fred Astair for keeping her awake by practicing his tap dance routine
Bluebeard's Eighth Wife (1938) -- Gary Cooper wants to buy pajamas, but only the tops, and Claudette Colbert offers to buy the bottoms
Roman Holiday (1953) -- princess Audrey Hepburn is asleep near a public fountain and Gregory Peck catches her as she rolls off the ledge
Love in the Afternoon (1957) -- Audrey Hepburn climbs in Gary Cooper's hotel room through the terrace to warn him that the husband of his mistress has a gun. A great big gun.
Auntie Mame (1958) -- Rosalind Russell wants to send Forrest Tucker's roller skates C.O.D.
Pretty Woman (1990) -- Richard Gere seeks directions from Julia Roberts in the red-light district
Some Like It Hot (1959) -- perhaps the ultimate meet cute

Thanks, NoShear and Peebs! You two got all the actors.
Interesting trivia: Daniel Craig was originally cast to play Devereaux, but other commitments ran long for him, and recasting was necessary. Director Roger Donaldson was so set on having a Bond play the lead that he actually approached Connery, but he was too old for this level of action. Brosnan got wind of this and lobbied for the part. Later, Donaldson said Brosnan's work on this film was his best.
It's anyone's thread......

Thank you, Peebs!
Here's a two-parter:
1. The November Man (2014) has some interesting trivia surrounding the casting of the main character that relates to our Bonds. What is it?
2. The movie features three cast members from Bond-films. Who, and which films?

Dalton played Nazi spy Neville Sinclair in The Rocketeer (1981). The story goes that Neville Sinclair was based on swashbuckling Errol Flynn who was thought by some to be a Nazi spy. The film is based on a graphic novel. The damsel in distress, Jenny Blake in the film, is called Betty Page in the book because the author, Dave Stevens, was a friend of the pin-up queen Bettie Page. She disallowed use of the name in the film.
Mr. Pricklepants is from the Toy Story franchise. I think the character debuted in the third movie. I read an interesting tie-in of these two characters (if you can imagine there would be such a thing). It seems Mr. Pricklepants is a premium import plushie made in Germany and part of the Waldfreunde collection, but I don't think it's a product of Steiff. Small world, or evil plan?
