kimemerson 7 #1 December 22, 2009 I just watched a fairly (ok, very) lame movie from 1967 called Fathom. It starred Raquel Welch as a skydiver helping a jewel thief, or trying to catch the jewel thief, or was she working for the thief...Anyway, there are a lot of real jumps with rounds and it looks like it could be California for most of the skydiving bits. Credits were sparse and the only name I could find was for Ken Voss for "parachute sequences" and for Donna Garrett as a stunt double for Raquel. Anyone know any more about it?

kkeenan 14 #2 December 22, 2009 It may be a lame movie, but watching Raquel Welch pack a PC is worth the price of admission. _____________________________________ Dude, you are so awesome... Can I be on your ash jump ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
howardwhite 6 #3 December 23, 2009 Here, from the scrapbook collection of J. Scrimscher, is a picture of his late father honoring the movie.Ken Vos was one of the jumpers involved in the mid-air canopy collision pictured in Masters of the Sky. If you do a search here for his name, you'll see more details about that incident. HW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

captain1976 0 #6 December 23, 2009 Yeah, it was extra lame. Had some good jump pix for its day but the plot as well as the acting really suck.You live more in the few minutes of skydiving than many people live in their lifetime Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
