Facts about Fathom:

This 1960s spy comedy is bookended by aerial plane, parachuting and skydiving sequences. This movie was influenced by the James Bond franchise, and ironically, such above-mentioned aerial activities would actually make this picture prefigure the many aerial and flying stunt sequences which would dominate the Bond series from the 1970s onwards.
The name of this movie's MacGuffin was the Fire Dragon. At first, it is described as a failsafe device that can explode a hydrogen bomb via an electronic signal but turns out later to be a a priceless Oriental ceramic treasure from the Ming Dynasty.
Anthony Franciosa received top first billing, Raquel Welch received second billing.
