Trivia:
In her final years at MGM, Joan Crawford was handed weak scripts in the hopes that she'd break her contract. Two films she hungered to appear in were Random Harvest (1942) and Madame Curie (1943). Both films went to bright new star Greer Garson instead, and Crawford left the studio soon after. more

Continuity: When Marie gets out of the chair, her hand is at first in her lap, but then on the arm rest. more

Unforgettable portrayal of an unforgettable duo, 19 January 1999
9/10
Author: S Srikant from Bangalore, India

The movie depicts very realistically and very endearingly, the dedication of Pierre and Marie Curie in search of the new element radium. Flawless acting from Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon. Takes you back in time to the turn of the 20th century.
