Profile
As Bond and Vesper Lynd are sailing into Venice, Vesper notices a mysterious figure appearing on the side of the canal. When Bond later realises Vespers hidden agenda, he runs to the bank to find her but without success. Luckily spotting her red dress walking down a side street, he follows her to an abandoned courtyard. As Vesper is about to give the money to Gettler, Bond is spotted so Gettler retreats into a building under renovation with Vesper as his hostage. Bond enters and takes on each of Gettler's goons until he reaches the man himself. They fight, and Gettler loses the case containing the winnings into the water below. Eventually Bond manages to gain the upper hand, and shoots Gettler in his right eye with a large nail gun.
About
This eerie looking figure has been sent by Mr White to meet with Vesper and complete their deal; the poker winnings to free her boyfriend held hostage. Due to very limited dialogue, and little on-screen time, little else is learnt about the character. Although wearing a panama hat and blacked out lens, Gettler does look quite eerie. §
