Storyline
In Southern Spain with a U.S. team, skydiver Fathom Harvill is approached by a Scottish colonel working for a top-secret Western agency. He's after a vital lost atomic device, and wants her to parachute into a house occupied by some Red Chinese agents to help get the thing back. Apart from all this there is a predatory continental doctor on his yacht to take account of. Fathom soon realizes nothing is what it seems to be, but can she fathom the truth out? Written by Jeremy Perkins {J-26}

Trivia
The bullring around which Fathom is pursued is the oldest functioning bullring in the world, at Mijas in Andalusia. Mijas is also the location for Fathom's hotel. However, the rest of the (unnamed) town in these scenes, including the beach and the side-entrance to the bullring, can be found in other parts of Spain. See more »Goofs
In the first moments of the shot where Fathom walks down the steps in her bikini, she is standing still on one step, and the people below are also standing largely motionless, all obviously awaiting their cues to start the action. See more »Quotes

Alternate Versions
When originally released theatrically in the UK, the BBFC made cuts to secure a 'U' rating. All cuts were waived in 2006 when the film was granted a 'U' certificate for home video. See more »Soundtracks
