Why did Tilly Masterson want to kill Goldfinger and not Oddjob?


I mean it was Oddjob who killed Jill Masterson. Not Goldfinger. Why didn't she just for after Oddjob? No where in the movie did it say that Oddjob was following Goldfinger's orders when he killed Jill Masterson.

She was employed by Goldfinger and would most likely have told here sister about his weird obsession with gold. When Tilly was told that Jill was painted in gold it's obvious who to blame.
Why would Jill have told here about his butler?

So it was Goldfinger who ordered Oddjob to kill her? In other words was Oddjob just following Goldfinger's orders?

reply

I am pretty sure everything Oddjob did was on Goldfinger's order.
Oddjob was more or less just a extremely loyal guy who did whatever Goldfinger told him to do.

reply

Yes of course it was Goldfinger who ordered Oddjob to kill Jill. Oddjob also killed the gangster who didn't want to go along with Goldfinger's plans. Remember the ride to the airport that ended up in the junk yard with a crunched car.

Of course I remember that. And it's a shame they had to destroy such a nice car.
