Fathom (1967)

A skydiver (Raquel Welch) is approached by an international agent (Ronald Fraser) and his aide (Richard Briers) into helping them locate a missing atomic device referred to as the Fire Dragon which is also being sought after by the Red Chinese. But everything is not as it seems and she soon finds herself a disposable pawn as other predators want the Fire Dragon. Based on the novel FATHOM HEAVENSENT by Larry Forrest and directed by Leslie H. Martinson. This breezy spy/hesit caper doesn't take itself too seriously which is just as well but it's an enjoyable romp just the same. The lovely Welch is at her most stunning and Maurice Binder's clever main titles emphasize her allure. There are double crosses, dead bodies and treachery galore and it's all in modest good fun. Douglas Slocombe (THE LION IN WINTER) takes full advantage of the attractive Spanish locations and the melodic underscore is by John Dankworth. With Anthony Franciosa, Clive Revill and Greta Chi.
