Episode 137: Madame Curie

ABOUT THE EPISODE:

Ostensibly a biopic about one of the most important scientists of all time, Madame Curie is more a love letter to her husband, Pierre, than the story of the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in not one but two different categories. Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon do their usual comfortable romance thing, and their personal chemistry is fine, while the movie seems entirely disinterested in the chemistry going on in their lab… or her life, at all, in the 28 years she lived after he died.
