Poster for the movie Fathom

Fathom (1967)

A young woman visiting Spain with a skydiving team is recruited to recover a missing atomic device that is desired by the Chinese and apparently in the hands of a notorious international criminal, but she soon hears many different stories from the competing parties. There are lots of twists in this lighthearted entertainment that is bolstered by Ronald Fraser as the fellow who persuades her to help out. Welch is fine in her role, and Tony Franciosa does well as a fast-talking fellow who may be a crook but may be a good guy.

  Mildly recommended. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK.
