From the opening shots of the film, where the camera moves across the legs and buttocks of Ms Welch in a swimsuit, the viewer is under no illusion as to the main attraction in this flick. In a terribly contrived story with Ms Welch as a champion sky-diver, lured into espionage and intrigue, those who manage to sit through this turkey will get few thrills from the viewing. There are boat chases, airplane chases, and a car chase or two, but nothing that will linger in memory.
While Raquel is certainly attractive, in the modern era one is not accustomed to seeing women with a quarter pound of eye makeup, but that was the strange standard of beauty among "glamorous" stars of that time. If you like looking at a scantily clad Ms Welch, I would recommend 1 Million Years BC, where the absence of dialogue does not compromise her acting performance. And that flick does manage some drama.
