Madame Curie (1943)
8/10
All Respects Paid
4 January 2014
I can now tell my mother I finally viewed the film that inspired her to pursue a career in medicine.

Other users say what needs be said in detail, so I'll confine my review to some observations...

I half-expected the Minivers in lab smocks. I was proved wrong by both actors from start to finish.

Read the biographies on the credited co-screenwriters. Paul Osborn was perhaps better known as a playwright. You may know of On Borrowed Time, but his comedy Morning's at Seven literally walks around your head.

In the final scene between Madame Curie and Professor Perot try to take your eyes off of Greer Garson.

And once again a film prompts me to read more about its subject. That is a most uncommon and justly deserved result.
