Review of Fathom

Fathom (1967)
Incredibly Dull
7 July 2008
Warning: Spoilers
I had heard this was one of the films that "made" Raquel Welch (the other being "1 Million B.C.") but I can't see how, unless by "made" they mean "revealed to be an incredibly stiff and dull actress with a great body, but little or no acting ability".

Welch is undeniably hot, and the film showcases her talents in a variety of bikinis and tight outfits, but the direction is plodding, the story dull and uninvolving, and the humor obvious and unfunny. The best thing on this DVD were the trailers for the "Our Man Flint" movies. This was truly a miserable film experience.

Raquel Welch became a star DESPITE such wretched projects, not because of it.
