Product Description
Product description
Fathom (Widescreen) (Bilingual)
Amazon.com
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. She's 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, Raquel's 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

- Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2015Lightweight but highly enjoyable comedy/spy picture features every guy's favorite bikini-wearer Raquel Welch in a role that was clearly designed to exploit her, um, assets more than anything else involved in the movie, but what's wrong with that? Today's pictures really are intense, and not in emotionally positive ways either. Watching this offering from 1967, it is easy to see why it's so enjoyable, nowadays especially. Watching Raquel strut around in that little green bikini, it's hard to focus on the aspects of the movie, but as a spy plot it's not that bad at all--just don't expect this to add up to very much content wise. But let's be honest here. What we really watch movies like this for are the scenery, and there is plenty of that kind of visual splendor on display here, from the great outdoors to the beautiful women (but it's mainly Raquel's show, no complaints from me). Visually, it's an amazing movie. Also, there is a bit of violence since it's a spy movie, but it's a movie that almost anyone can watch and not be emotionally taxed by. Larry Forrester's novel "Fathom Heavensent" was apparently never published (according to Wikipedia) but his initial book "A Girl Called Fathom" is probably still available at used bookstores (if you happen to be interested in this character).
The picture and sound on the DVD is very good indeed, it all seems clear enough to me. I only wish that Fox would release other hard to find titles from this period, such as "Hello Goodbye", "Justine," "The Secret Life of an American Wife," and others. Still, Raquel has never looked as vivacious as she does here, and this a movie that can be enjoyed anytime. B+
- Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2006Can 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2013Just an average day for Fathom Harvill(Raquel Welch), La Jolla's sexiest dental hygienist. After a normal day of sky diving into the Spanish countryside she's ensnared into the world of cloak and dagger where the prize is the purloined Chinese Fire Dragon. Is Fathom a pawn or player in this high stakes game? As portrayed by Welch Fathom is smart, poised, and incredibly gorgeous. This hip redux of "The Maltese Falcon" is just what the doctor ordered on a cold winter's night. The film is beautifully shot and the combination of comedy and action is brilliantly calibrated. Director Leslie Martinson and co-scenarist Lorenzo Semple Jr. worked on the "Batman" TV series so they are no strangers to high camp. Did I forget Raquel's green bikini? This alone would merit the film three stars. That said, the film earns its other two.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2019...you'll dig the movie! Written by the great Lorenzo Semple, Jr, best known for Papillon, 1980s Flash Gordon, Batman (TV series.), and so much more.
One of the better secret agent spoofs from the 60s.
Plus: lotsa Raquel Welch in her prime, not wearing much. (See cover.)
Fun movie. Raquel Welch as an amateur sky-diver who turns Modesty Blaise to recover a missing nuclear device which isn't what it seems. The mind boggles, but she is really sweet and funny in an 007 parody which maintains a remarkably light touch, and also offers the admirable Revill as a sinister, fish-blooded villain. Also strong on sunny good humour.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2002Raquel Welch is delightful in the sexy spy spoof FATHOM. FATHOM has just been given its long-awaited DVD release along with the similarly-themed MODESTY BLAISE, OUR MAN FLINT and IN LIKE FLINT.
Fathom Harvill (Raquel Welch) is a dental hygienist-turned-skydiver who is recruited by a bumbling investigator and his young sidekick Timothy (Richard Briers) to uncover a man (Tony Franciosa) and his Chinese girlfriend (Greta Chi), who have reportedly stolen military secrets and encoded information that could potentially end in the earth's destruction.
Fathom ends up in a series of near-fatal encounters as the enemy changes at every turn. Fathom, to her horror, discovers that in order to survive she can trust no-one.
The comical script is played dead-seriously with this stellar cast which also includes the fabulous Clive Revill as Fathom's masterly-foil Serapkin. Welch is luminous in what is regarded as her best film of the 60's, and the film is ably-directed by Leslie Martinson. (Single-sided, single-layer disc).
- Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2013I was expecting a "so dreadful it's good" film. That is not the case, however. Because it is a British production, it does have some of that type of humor that was so popular back then.
But to be fair, Fathom is not bad. Raquel Welch does a respectable job as the character Fathom, she's a a knockout to watch, and there are some well produced action sequences, including a few aerial shots and a bull ring . The film moves along at a good pace considering the time it was made.
Fathom is a "Bond Film" wanna-be. The script falls well short of that. But for a light, frothy film with a little intrigue, and the lovely Raquel Welch - you could do worse than Fathom

5.0 out of 5 stars Fathom
Un très bon film, je m'attendais pas à voire autant de rebondissements, l'histoire est plutôt bien ficelé, dommage pour les 20 premières minutes un peu inintéressantes. Raquel un peu particulier mais quand le rôle est endossé par la belle Raquel, alors c'est que du bonheur!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bel film che non avevo mai visto, DVD ok!
DVD senza difetti e senza problemi di riproduzione (col PC).
L'ho comprato perchè questo film non l'avevo mai visto ed ero curioso.
Una spy-comedy anni 60-70.
Tuttosommato piacevole.

4.0 out of 5 stars Film per appassionati del genere.
Il film è abbastanza buono anche se la trama è un po' debole. La pellicola è rimasterizzata bene. Consigliato per i fans della Welch.
