A certain lime-green bikini reaches icon status in Fathom, clinging as tightly to Raquel Welch as those phagocytes that attacked her in Fantastic Voyage. Raquel was the reigning sex goddess of the moment, which is all you need to know about Fathom, an otherwise extremely silly example of proto-Austin Powers spy spoofery. Shes a poster come to life, and the movie is geared around her 60s outfits (a purple-and-cornflower ensemble is particularly stupefying), her orange-peach lipstick, and the way her hair seems perfectly in place even after a high-speed boat chase. Sadly, Raquels dialogue delivery is as stiff as her brunette mane, but the movie perks up when she is chased around by an angry bull, a sequence that may have you wondering whether you ate some bad cheese. By the way, her character is a dental assistant, visiting Spain as part of a skydiving troupe. Enjoy! –Robert Horton
Customer Reviews & Opinions
Life can be great!
Can you imagine being paid to spend days making a movie with Raquel Welch in such a beautiful setting. Not to mention the outfits Miss Welch was wearing. Tony Franciosa definately had some very good Karma to be able to achieve this. Outside of the obvious… This is a wonderful movie with terrific acting. Tony Franciosa is probably the most under rated actor of all time. He has a great intensity that shines beneath the smoothest “one of a kind” voices on this planet! Raquel Welch is indescribale… So Beautiful.. and so Talented! A fast moving fun movie not unlike a good James Bond movie with a cute and funny twist. And the period in which this was filmed was such an innocent sweet period in our world. I highly recommend this film for pure escape and great entertainment.
