And the list goes on.

Answer: Gert Frobe (Auric Goldfinger)

Michael Collins' voice was dubbed in for all of Frobe's lines, except in the scene at Auric Stud where Goldfinger (Frobe) meets with the Mafia.

Answer: Keep doing well whatever it is that you do well

The phrase 'Stay Gold' means "stick to doing the things that you're good at".
In the 1965 S.E. Hinton novel "The Outsiders", Johnny Cade, a member of the 'Greasers' tells his best friend, Ponyboy Curtis, to 'Stay Gold', just before he (Johnny) dies. It's Johnny's way of saying to Ponyboy that Ponyboy can go far in life doing the things that he's good at.

Answer: Prize of Gold

In the 1955 "I Love Lucy" episode "The Tour", Lucy and Ethel go on a tour bus to see the homes of the stars. When Lucy forces the bus to stop at the home of Richard Widmark, the bus actually does have the nerve to leave without Lucy and Ethel (but who can blame them?). Lucy soon after gets stuck in Richard Widmark's house when she tries to steal a grapefruit from a tree in his backyard for a keepsake. Richard Widmark mentions to Ricky that he has filmed a movie recently called "Prize of Gold" (1955). One can't help but feel this was a shameless plug for the film.

In the movie, Richard Widmark's character, Sgt. Joe Lawrence, turns to crime after World War II with a woman he loves, and plans to hijack a military plane carrying a golden fortune.

Answer: False

That notion is very false indeed! She praised Pope Pius XII shortly after his death for all he had done to help the Jews during their persecutions by the Nazis during World War II. It was the 1963 play "The Deputy" by Rolf Hochhuth that started that slanderous myth of Pius XII's wartime "silence".

In the play, Pius XII was accused of failure to speak out against the atrocities being committed as leader of a worldwide organization of half of a billion strong. Many scholars argue that Pius XII saved hundreds of thousands (!) of Jews.

In fact, the Chief Rabbi of Rome converted to Roman Catholicism out of gratitude for all Pius XII had done for his people. Why certain fools would blame the man who saved them in lieu of the monsters who were really responsible is anyone's distressed guess.
