Lightning Bolt (Italian: Operazione Goldman) is an Italian-Spanish international co-production spy-fi film shot in Techniscope in 1965 that was directed by Antonio Margheriti in his first entry into the Eurospy genre. The film was co-financed and released in the US by the Woolner Brothers who re-titled it Lightning Bolt with the tagline "strikes like a ball of thunder" . It was released as a double feature with Red Dragon in 1967 two years after the film had been shot. The film's star, Anthony Eisley commented that the film was released too late to take advantage of the James Bond craze.
