This is a pretty obvious character to highlight in terms of gender representation. Pussy Galore's name is ridiculous enough, and as with many other Bond girl's names, it places the females sexuality above any other qualities they may possess.
This scene in Goldfinger is particularly disturbing, in that Bond practically forces himself onto Pussy Galore. Because Bond is clearly capable of seducing anyone, even when they refuse his advances. In fairness she puts up a good fight, but then Bond is obviously just so irresistible that she couldn't say no much longer. Whilst the characters fight each other, with Bond becoming more persistent and assertive, light hearted music plays in the background, as if it's all a bit of a lark instead of sexual harassment.
Again, the story board effect work best here because I wanted to communicate the escalation of their relationship in the scene.
I added the text to highlight the ridiculousness of the scene and the way that it portrays Pussy's lesbianism as something fluid that only Bond's persistence is capable of changing.
