Shock at Elstree. The plot is irrelevant. He is looking for his girl, or something. What really matters is the vignettes along the way. In a New York waterfront bar, a fierce-looking Caribbean type with abscessed fangs picks up an ice pick and tells Mickey to leave the premises. The poor hood doesn't know that Mickey has a rod in his pocket with a Navarone-sized barrel. Mickey takes out a single big s'ag and rolls it down the bar. "Eat it," he says. The thug eats...
These are only a few of the myriad new uses; man also employs the gases to fire rockets, sterilize rooms, freeze ice cream and produce soda bubbles. Food processors use liquid hydrogen to stiffen oils into shortening through "hydrogenation." Steelmakers are taking big gulps of pure oxygen in their furnaces to speed melting. In orbital flights, the astronauts burn liquid oxygen as fuel and breathe its evaporations...

They evoke it with sounds: a transistor radio in de Wilde's shirt pocket twanging hillbilly anthems, the slamming of a screen door on a hot night, the screak-screak of the ice-cream freezer on the back porch, the relentless whistling of the wind scorching in off the plains, the brutal whump of the springs of the Cadillac as it guns across the railroad tracks. They also evoke it with the black-and-white camera of Old Master James Wong Howe...
