Quotes from

Peter Merriwether: [while watching Fathom running away from the bull] I love this world!
Fathom Harvill: Then why do you want to blow it up?
Peter Merriwether: Isn't that a little melodramatic?
Fathom Harvill: What do you call H-Bombs - light comedy?
[Starts running again]
Peter Merriwether: H-Bombs? How did H-Bombs get into this cosy chat?


Fathom Harvill: [Recognising the serial number Peter has just read out] Hey - that's my passport number!
Peter Merriwether: [Looking at Fathom's passport] You know, your picture doesn't do you justice!


Peter Merriwether: Fathom, eh? I never met a Fathom. Where did you ever get a kinky name like that?
Fathom Harvill: First initials for uncles- Freddy, Arthur, Tom, Harry, Oscar, Milton. They were all rich, and Papa wasn't taking any chances- unlike me.

Facts about

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.
This movie was based on Larry Forrester's second 'Fathom' novel which was never published and was only in draft form at the time of production and release. Forrester's first 'Fathom' novel was called 'A Girl Called Fathom' and was first published in the same year as this film was released: 1967.
H.A.D.E.S stood for Headquarters Allied Defences, Espionage & Security.
