Stephen Boyd leads an eclectic cast starring Donald Pleasance and Raquel Welch into places even Heineken would struggle to reach.

They crew a miniature submarine that becomes very miniature indeed.

Some bigwig has a life-threatening condition, and this is the only means to treat it. They are made microscopic and injected into the patient's blood-stream. But - inevitably - there's a saboteur on board.

The big bucks got spent on special-effects which were top-drawer at the time. Even today, some of them are quite impressive, especially the laboratory sets. Inside the human body is just an oil-bubble extravaganza. There's adventures galore, as our heroes visit all the different parts of anatomy. Sometimes it's a bit daft - but fun too.

Oh - and they're up against the clock, as well. They have to get out before the miniaturisation process wears off. A phagocyte threatens to engulf the crew even more dangerously than Ms Welch's bosom. And mind those anti-bodies!

Still well worth a watch - if only to see Ms Welch and her ample charms squeezed into a wet-suit. It's available as a double DVD with similarly-vintaged 'Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea'.
