An enjoyable if frothy spy romp with more twists than a Chubby Checker record and a cheeky performance from the beautiful Raquel Welch. In the days where everyone was making a James Bond spoof this is one of the better ones
Filmed mainly in Spain this film certainly gains from the location work and the excellent outfits Raquel wears. She plays the title character Fathom, a skydiver helping detectives pursuing parts for a nuclear weapon. The device is however hidden inside a Chinese figurine called the Firecracker, but all this is a ruse as the figurine has been stolen. Everyone is after it, including Ronald Fraser, Tony Franciosa, Clive Revill and even a young Richard Briers.
Everyone seems to be having a great time making this caper, for me too many twists hampered the enjoyment a little, still a decent effort.
