Stephen Boyd, Donald Pleasence and Raquel Welch
star in this imaginative sci-fi adventure.
When a scientist who holds
the secret of miniaturization goes comatose,
a team of specialists travels inside his body
to try to repair a dangerous blood clot.
But with his body's defenses fighting them,
and a saboteur on the team,
it's a race against time to operate

He also wrote the Twilight Zone episode with Billy Mumy ("into the cornfield with you") and the Star Trek episode "Mirror, Mirror" about the alternate universe where everyone is mean and compulsive.

I remember seeing at my towns local theater on a Saturday afternoon.
I think at the time admission for kids under twelve was fifty cents.
I find it almost comical that this entry denoted Rachel Welch as a star of the film when she was nothing more than eye candy with the bets in the audience on how far the zipper was going to go down by the end of the film. Actors like Edmond O’Brian, James Doohan, Arthur Kennedy, Barry Coe, Arthur O’Connell, James Brolin, and others, were all in the film and never mentioned. Sex sells.

Funny thing is, I remember “Fantastecch Voyage”, the Mad magazine satire, better than the movie itself.
Spawned a TV series (1968-9), a remake (2013), and many rip-offs and parodies. It seems like every adult TV cartoon comedy series has done a send-up - some quite funny.
I thought it was written based on a novel by Michael Crichton. It seemed like his thing. But no. There was a “novelization” by Isaac Asimov that actually came out before the film was finished.
My mistake, no 2013 remake.
I had already gone through that with “100 Rifles”. No fooling! From that point on I WAS AWAKE in life!!
They were making the movie first and then needed a book so they got Isaac Asimov to write it!
Allow me to abuse your ear for a moment. Good science fiction should have real science combined with fictional stories. It doesn’t mean fictional science. There. Sorry.
Light particles don’t have a size, byw. That would violate the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principal. Just saying.
That was kind of the joke in the last panel. “Don’t think about it.” It would be the end of super-hero comics. There is a book called “The Physics of Superheroes” that deals with these questions.
I knew the daughter of the producer. She was a magnificent writer, but she had the gift of antagonizing anyone who would try to help her get her work published.
...Fathom that....
