Inspirational!

I remember seeing this movie when it first came out in the theatre. The actors portrayed the determination needed to succeed with such feeling that I shall never forget it's impact on me. August 6, 2008

Madame Curie

I had seen this movie a long time ago and had forgotten how good it was. I enjoy watching Greer Garson with Walter Pidgeon they always act so great together. August 5, 2008

classic greer garson

This is a must see for fans of classic movies and of Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon. Even in black and white the sets and the actors are truly stunning....it is a must see! October 18, 2007

Yet another great paring of Garson and Pidgeon

This bio-pic is the third paring of Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon and this demonstrates MGM's skill in developing first rate vehicles for its leading stars. Who would have thought that the discovery of radium would make for an exciting drama? This necessitates some fictionalization. There is no mention of Marie Curie's political involvement and concern for the fate of her native Poland. However Pidgeon and Garson are interesting to watch on the screen. Though appearing now somewhat tame, it is interesting to note that here is the story of a woman who not only has a career, but also wins two Nobel Prizes. Quite a departure from the usual woman's picture plot devices which generally revolve around marriage and children.

This film is a delight to watch, particularly for the chemistry between Pidgeon and Garson. While the science is somewhat suspect, it shows a woman effectively competing in a man's world.
