Lightning Bolt (Italian: Operazione Goldman) is a 1966 spy-fi film shot in Techniscope in 1965 that was directed by Anthony Dawson in his first entry into the Eurospy genre.

[4] Sent to Italy by the Woolner Brothers, former Hawaiian Eye actor Anthony Eisley was told by director Antonio Margheriti that he looked "too Italian".

Eisley recalled that the original negative of the film was lost and for its American release it had to be reassembled from various prints, which gave it a varying but low picture quality.

The review also noted that Margheriti's direction was "adequate" while Riz Ortolani's score was an unusual departure for him, and closer to Morricone's music for the Dollars Trilogy.

"[10] In Phil Hardy's book Science Fiction (1984), Lightning Bolt is described as "one of the better pieces of Italian hokum that have their origin in the operatic technology of the James Bond series of films".
