	Madame Curie
		Madame Curie, as she is most frequently called, was a self-effacing woman who lived for her research and her family.
		She was the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize (1903 in Physics for the discovery of radioactivity), and only one of four individuals to have ever received two Nobel Prizes (the second in 1911 in Chemistry for the discovery of radium and polonium and for the chemical isolation of pure radium).
		Her research, which has led to radiation treatment to help cancer patients, caused her own death by "radiation poisoning"--doctors labeled it "aplastic pernicious anemia of rapid, feverish development." Actually, it had not been a rapid development, and the anemia was likely a form of leukemia caused by years of unprotected contact with radioactivity.

	Madame Marie Curie
		The Curies loved their work so much, and carried the radioactive material in their pockets, or kept it by their bedside, without realising the danger they were exposing themselves to.
		The daughter of Marie Curie, Irene Joliot Curie, and her husband Frederic Joliot continued the work started by her parents and discovered artificial radioactivity, and paved the way for the discovery of the neutron by Sir James Chadwick.
		The work of Marie Curie, was not just important for her discoveries of new elements, but the process she used to isolate them, helped to create a "stockpile" of a few grams of radioactive material, which future scientists could use for further studies.

	Warner's January '07 Releases - Reviews by David Nusair
		Madame Curie is undoubtedly most effective in its opening half hour, which primarily revolves around the awkward yet endearing courtship that ensues between the two central characters - with Marie's work-related travails essentially relegated to the background.
		As the film progresses, however, the focus shifts to Marie and Pierre's efforts to isolate radium - which quickly proves to be as tedious an endeavor as it sounds (those with an interest in such matters will probably find more to embrace within these sequences than neophytes, admittedly).
		That being said, there's little doubt that the film's superb performances go a long way towards keeping things interesting (Garson is especially good here) - while director Mervyn LeRoy does a nice job of infusing the proceedings with intermittent bursts of style (ie the inclusion of a fairly impressive tracking shot in the first act).

	Madame Curie
		Madame Curie was the physicist with expertise in chemistry that, in 1898, discovered the radioactive substances of radium and polonium in Paris, France.
		She measured the amount of radioactivity, an atomic property, and felt that the radioactivity was proportional to the amount of the element.
		Both Curies were expected to share their knowledge and teach classes: he at the Sorbonne, and her at Sevres.

		The last third is the dullest and most conventional portion of the film: fame and celebration for the Curies and a renewal of their love just before Pierre died prematurely in a traffic accident.
		This film was reasonably faithful to her real story, though most notably Greer Garson was a tall lady and Ms.
		Infinite patience was required during the four years of toil which culminated in the preparation of radium, and the film conveys a vivid sense of the Curies' dedication.

	The DVD Lounge: Madame Curie - DVD Review
		Marie and Pierre Curie spent most of their lives in a laboratory looking at sub-microscopic quantities of minerals using primitive detection instruments in an effort to fill in some of the gaps at the high end of the Periodic Table.
		That's focused attention on the Curies, and a DVD release of this film is a natural to cash in on the rather negative publicity.
		What you end up with is a truly beautiful film with incredible performances that overcome the sluggish pace to create a near-masterpiece that's been overlooked due to its subject matter and its antecedent being so iconic (and its competition for box office money that year being the same).

		After all, Marie Curie's discovery of radium in the early years of the 20th century might not seem like the stuff dreams are made of.
		Based on the book by Eve Curie (Marie Curie's youngest daughter), the movie begins with young Marie Sklodowska (Greer Garson), a Polish immigrant, studying mathematics and physics at the Sorbonne in Paris.
		And even though the film is based on Eve Curie's book, Madame Curie all but forgets the Curies' two children.

	Life And Times of Marie Curie
		The woman destined to be known worldwide as Madame Curie was born Marie Sklodowska in Warsaw, Poland, on Nov. 7, 1867.
		For the scientific world, 1898 was a turning-point year--thanks to the Curies: In July, they announced the discovery of a new radioactive element, polonium (named by Marie after her motherland); in December, they announced their discovery of radium.
		After overcoming stout resistance from the French military, Curie, assisted by her daughter Irene, spearheaded the use of X-rays as a pre-operative tool in war-zone hospitals.

		Similarly, in her 1923 biography Pierre Curie and in the autobiographical notes appended to it, she depicted herself and her husband as participants in a heroic struggle.
		The romantic--and only partially true--legend that Curie helped create of her heroic early struggle was further spread by the 1943 film Madame Curie, starring Greer Garson.
		At a time when Curie hoped to secure funding for her Radium Institute, her emphasis on the difficulties she faced as a scientist helped not only to arouse public sympathy but also to raise significant philanthropic donations and put pressure on the French government.

		Madame Curie absorbingly tells of the struggle and heartaches that ultimately resulted in the discovery of radium.
		While the events leading up to the discovery of radium and the fame it brought Madame Curie are of the greatest underlying importance to the picture as entertainment, it's the love story that dominates all the way.
		Film is based on the book Madame Curie, written by Eve Curie, daughter of the Polish teacher-scientist who quite by accident came upon the source of the element.

	DVD review of Madame Curie - DVDTOWN.com
		"Madame Curie" is a movie dependent on characters and dialogue, with the actors, writers, and director coming through splendidly.
		For a Pete Smith film, it is unusually serious, and in its ten-minute running time outlines the nature of radium and the history of its discovery.
		It had been fifty years since I last saw "Madame Curie" on TV as a boy, and, frankly, I never remembered nor expected it to be so romantic, so touching, or so moving as it is. The Academy nominated the movie for seven Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Actress.
