Movie Reviews of Madame Curie
Movie Review: All young people should see this film
Summary: 5 Stars
An inspirational film that all young people should see. This film elegantly portrays a particular life that was enthralled by an irresistible fascination with the question of a scientific anomaly. It also gives insight into the personal challenges faced by the young Marie. This very human story is simply told and is a potential inspiration to young people. It is a film wonderfully acted, and an educational treasure. It shows the character of a modest but determined and inspired young lady. She had to deal with the prejudices of the male establishment towards women, with the inferior facilities supplied to her, and an immense physical workload. Yet despite this, she and her husband, Pierre, turned her initial small physical observation into a leap in scientific achievement. For this, they were awarded a Nobel Prize in science. Along the way we are shown the disappointment of perceived failure and the elation of success. Her work began a branch of medicine that helps certain cancer sufferers even today.Movie Review: Sprawling biography!
Summary: 5 Stars
For all of us who knew about the years and years of inexhaustible investigation and study, this is a stimulating and flaming biography based on the epic scientist Madame Curie and his husband Pierre Curie in their constant search and eventual discovering of the radio.
Madame Curie shows us, by far she is one the great heroes of the science. Well documented portrait, supported by a fine direction of Melvin Le Roy, as well as the unerring chemistry between my beloved Green Carson (one of the five top American actresses any age) and Walter Pigdeon as his lovable and loyal husband.
The final sequence when she makes that brief but remarkable speech is simply anthological.
Despite the fact that pitifully this movie competed with Casablanca, Carson and Pigdeon received deserved nominations (being defeated by Jennifer Jones and Paul Lukas, respectively) and Le Roy by Michael Curtiz, this haunting film will mark you forever.
Movie Review: Yet another great paring of Garson and Pidgeon
Summary: 5 Stars
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.

Movie Review: Very good CD.
Summary: 5 Stars
As an early effort in order to present Marie Curie's life, this film is good but really the image of this woman of science is not as we see on the film. Marie Curie was so poor and refused to talk with so many people. I think the performance for them, Pierre and Marie Curie are little exagerated by the actors but anyway...
There are some facts that are not real and are not according to most of the books written about their biographies. For example, on the film we see Pierre Curie's death after buying earings for Marie. That's a lie.
This fact never happened !! but, once again, it is a good effort in order to motivate audience (common people and science students) to know the hard life of this couple who gave so much to mankind and to science.
