Storyline
In southern Spain with a U.S. team, skydiver Fathom Harvill (Raquel Welch) is approached by Colonel Douglas Campbell (Ronald Fraser), who is 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 of this, there is a predatory continental doctor on his yacht to take account of. Fathom soon realizes nothing is what it seems to be. Written by Jeremy Perkins {J-26}

After taking control of the plane, it is shown in a steep dive with a left spin. Peter gives Fathom instructions to turn the "wheel" HARD LEFT and pull back on throttle. She's already in a left spin, turning the yoke "HARD LEFT will only increase the spin rate. Next he says, push FORWARD (on the yoke) don't be afraid of diving... she's already in a dive, there is no need to increase speed at that point. Pushing forward helps recover airspeed and prevent stalling. It doesn't help when already in a dive. See more »Alternate Versions

Let's face it, unless you are a BIG fan of "B"-grade 60's spy flicks, and can't get your hands on a "Matt Helm" copy, the ONLY reason you would watch this film is for the incredible Raquel Welch. For the most fun, turn the sound down and make up your own dialogue as you go along.
