Richard Fleischer directs Stephen Boyd, Raquel Welch and Donald Pleasence in this sci-fi adventure where a submarine and its crew are shrunk and injected into a dying Cold War scientist’s bloodstream in order to save him.

Fond memories of watching this as a kid but it is quite turgid now. Only the final five minutes have any sense of urgency. The entire male crew are all sexist towards Raquel to. Yeah yeah… she is supposed to be eye candy but you don’t need to keep verbally pointing it out when there is only an hour to save the dude you are in! Focus, lads! The Star Trek era FX are quirky and pleasing. If ever there was a concept due a modern remake it was this.
