Paranoia

First blog, first entry- what to share?
'Fantastic Voyage'- are the first 15 minutes the most paranoid sequence of events in 60s science-fiction? Squads of soldiers at the airport to greet the defector, fleet of black limos, assassination attempts, gunfights on American streets with 'enemy' (read- commie) agents, vast underground bases buried beneath a major american city and all the raw power of US technological enthusiasm. How did we survive the Cold War?

Brilliant, mad and Raquel Welch still makes me shiver in her white wetsuit.
