Desert Island DVDs - The "So Bad It's Good" Category


Fathom (1967), stars Raquel Welch as a skydiving dental hygienist who is kidnapped on her vacation in the south of Spain to rescue some stolen H-Bomb codes. Or something like that. But really it's not about the codes at all, but some stolen jewelry from the Ming dynasty. I think. To paraphrase one of the actors, Richard Briers, one really can't "fathom the plot." In addition to skydiving, our heroine gets to run from a bull, pilot a plane and set fire to a yacht. All while changing into a different cleavage-baring ensemble every five minutes, despite limited access to luggage. Groovy, Baby!
