Looks Great, Hoping for DVD.

This five hour miniseries about the woman who has been called the greatest scientist in the twentieth century by some looks to have the makings of a great DVD. I did not see this in 1977 when it originally aired but am giving it 10 stars on the assumption that the production was given a lot of thought based on the actors and actresses involved and that it was a BBC production. Marie Curie was born in 1867 in Poland, immigrated to France at the age of 24, married, had two children and is one of only two people to ever win Nobel prizes in two different fields. If this miniseries captures something of her life it will make a wonderful DVD.
