The young Polish physics student Marie, soon falls in love with and marries Dr. Pierre Curie, in whose lab she had worked. On their honeymoon they decide to investigate a strange effect Professor Becquerel has noticed with the uranium/thorium stones for Marie's dissertation, and they determine there must be additional radioactive elements causing it. After years of experimentation in a makeshift lab at the University, they are finally able to isolate a few grains of a new element, radium, from 7 tons of raw material. Unfortunately, at the height of their success, tragedy strikes.

Better than "Radioactive" (2019 with Rosamund Pike and Sam Riley). Yes, there some corny 1943-era theatrical conceits. But this was a far better rendition of Curie's life than the 2019 version, especially with 2019's clumsy references to Hiroshima and Chernobyl. Walter Pidgeon is no great performer, but Greer Garson does a competent rendition. I'm sure the picture's storyline was positively assisted by Eve Curie's involvement...in terms of getting the scientific history correct.
