Based on the book by Ève Curie, Madame Curie is a tender tribute to the two-time Nobel Prize winner (and first female recipient). Narrated by screenwriter James Hilton (Mrs. Miniver), the biopic begins in the 1890s while Marie Sklodowska (Oscar winner Greer Garson, Mrs. Miniver) is enrolled at the Sorbonne. She's a poor Polish exchange student with a passion for physics and chemistry. When he finds out about her precarious financial situation, a professor recommends her for a position with the "nervous and impatient" Dr. Pierre Curie (Walter Pidgeon, Garson's Miniver co-star) and his assistant David (Robert Walker, Strangers on a Train). Curie believes that "women and science are incompatible." Marie, who will graduate at the top of her class, quickly proves him wrong. Just as quickly, he falls in love with her and introduces her to his parents (Henry Travers and Dame May Whitty). An engagement leads to a wedding, which leads to a partnership, which leads to the discovery of radium. Tragedy will eventually divide the couple, but Marie refuses to let their work die. Directed by Mervyn LeRoy (Little Women), Madame Curie may be heavier on the romance than the science, but charm is in abundant supply. With her regal bearing and breathy British accent, Garson isn't the most obvious choice for the famed physicist, but she effectively conveys the "stubborn, eager" woman's fervor for her field—-and for her husband. Margaret O'Brien (Meet Me in St. Louis) co-stars as future Nobel laureate Irene Curie. -- Kathleen C. Fennessy

Madame Curie, 2010-04-14
This wonderful video is a valuable lesson in the history of Madame Curie's life and very well done; and very believable with all of the individual struggles of each of their lives, and very well acted also with Walter Pigeon and Greer Garson.
Greer Garson is always so Inspiring!, 2009-10-21
I have three must have/see Greer Garson films and they are Madame Curie, Mrs. Miniver & Random Harvest! The first two movies paired her with Walter Pidgeon and their on screen chemistry was so good that people thought they were really married! This is a Classic in every since but as a film to inspire little girls in to science it is unbeatable! Just like the real life Amelia Earhart story it shows what a real person who loves to learn and seek understanding can accomplish! Great film! Great romance! Madame Curie
 Garson is wonderful!, 2009-10-27
This film is loosely based on Curie's life. I would have preferred if it had shown just a little bit that Marie Curie was human as well as talented! But it is still a movie that deserves to be seen. It's always a pleasure to see that wonderful team Garson and Pidgeon together!
