...magnetic field of the spectrometer, where they could be sorted and analyzed. When 16 giant, 20-ton magnets were set to pass positively charged particles, the apparatus made careful readings of the flight path, momentum and velocity of these particles. Computers showed where there was a mass peak of deuterons. Then, by reversing the field, the scientists ran the same tests to detect negatively charged particles. Since antiparticles behave the same way as their ordinary counterparts, the scientists concluded that they had found the anti-deuterons when the spectrometer showed a peak of activity where the deuteron had appeared earlier...
...Verona, Milan, and a burning fuel depot into Switzerland. A train pursued by troops and planes across enemy terrain can be counted on to boil over with excitement from time to time, and one battle scene filmed at dizzying altitudes in the Italian Alps brings the action to a peak...

The comedy reaches a peak of unbuttoned ribaldry in a shipboard rendezvous between Moll and her beloved highwayman, interrupted abed by the bandit's aide-de-camp (Leo McKern), who keeps tumbling upon them via doors and portholes and through the woodwork...
