Before this 1966 release that runs 100 minutes,there was no innerspace,a film by the way i reviewed on this blog,genre in sci-fi movies. Imagine traveling through a persons body and not only the wonder and horror that might cause,but all the other micro possibilities in other areas.The only issue I had was its story was too cold war-ish and dated in other areas as well.Thus 1 star off.However the cast worked well and it seems Donald Pleasence is in more classic sci-fi/horror films that any other actor I can think of.The special effects of the blood stream and other body parts seems like they are from today rather than almost 50 years ago.Outstanding reason to see this film even today.So if you like a genre maker and good effects in your sci-fi,see it.I might even say its a bucket list film for those film goers.Trailer URL follows the picture and a IMDB summary is below.Oh,to prove its not a exploitive film,you have a OVER DRESSED Raquel Welch in a role that gives her little chance to show she can act.
Scientist Jan Benes, who knows the secret to keeping soldiers shrunken for an indefinite period, escapes from behind the Iron Curtain with the help of CIA agent Grant. While being transferred, their motorcade is attacked. Benes strikes his head, causing a blood clot to form in his brain. Grant is ordered to accompany a group of scientists as they are miniaturized. The crew has one hour to get in Benes's brain, remove the clot and get out. Written by Brian Washington <Sargebri@att.net>
