Madame Curie (All Region DVD) Greer Garson, Walter Pidgeon 1943

Despite himself, accomplished physicist and avowed bachelor Pierre Curie falls for brilliant student Marie and together they embark on the discovery of radium.
Directors: Mervyn LeRoy, Albert Lewin.
A great story and a competant film version. Originally planned for Greta Garbo and Spencer Tracy to star. Ève Curie, who wrote the memoir of her mother on which the film was based, thought Garbo was "too glamorous."
