Humans are built right down to the molecular level, and you can’t shrink a molecule. Sorry to be a Debby Downer but I think this movie isn’t real.
I like the song.
Classic movie!
I saw it at the base theater in Yokosuka, Japan (the Benny Decker Theater) probably back in 1967.
When those guys all started pulling the antibodies off of Raquel Welch, my clothes started feeling kind of tight!
There was a funny story I heard about that scene.
Apparently, when the time came to shoot that scene, the director said "ACTION!" and the guys all began pulling the antibodies off of her. after a few seconds, he yelled "CUT!"
All the guys looked up in surprise and when one of them asked what was wrong, he pointed at Raquel who had all the antibodies removed from everywhere except on her boobs and her crotch. The director, pointing at her said "She looks like a damn burlesque dancer there!" Nobody had wanted to be, er..."ungentlemanly", so they all avoided those parts.
When they shot it again, they all went straight for her boobs and crotch at the same time as the director yelled "CUT! CUT!" Then he said to one guy "You remove them from here!" as he pointed to each of them and assigned an area for them to remove antibodies from!
That was a fun movie to watch as a kid.
Very memorable.
It’s actually a pretty good movie from a medical standpoint. A person could learn about their body from watching this.
My voice changed watching Rachel in that movie when it came out
Great movie with hot Raquel Welch, the most beautiful woman of all time, in it!
It fit in great with Godzilla vs. Mothra and the Batman /Robin movies of the late 60s.
It was a very imaginative Sci fi. Kudos to the writer who created it
This and The Andromeda Strain are the most memorable sci-fi movies from my youth.
One of my earliest memories was seeing this movie at the theater, age 5 or 6. My pal Gus threw up. Freaked me out, too
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.
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.
