Third of eight movies that paired Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon.
Only one scene in the entire film--a long shot of the Curies on honeymoon--was actually filmed outside of the studio, and even that was second unit.
In her final years at MGM, Joan Crawford was handed weak scripts in the hopes that she would 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.
The scene in which Pierre Curie proposes to Marie Sklodowska is one long continuous take. It lasts for more than two and a half minutes.
As a proper English lady, Greer Garson insisted on having tea served on the movie set every day at 4 o'clock. Once, while filming a scene, the actors were interrupted by a sharp whistling sound. Director Mervyn LeRoy shouted, "Cut! What the hell is that noise?" A voice responded from offstage, "It's Miss Garson's tea kettle, sir!"
"[last lines] [Madame Curie addresses a large gathering of scientists] Marie Curie: Even now, after twenty-five years of intensive research, we feel there is a great deal still to be done. We have made many discoveries. Pierre Curie and the suggestions we have found in his notes, and his thoughts he expressed to me have helped to guide us to them. But no one of us can do much. Yet, each of us, perhaps, can catch some gleam of knowledge which, modest and insufficient of itself, may add to man's dream of truth. It is by these small candles in our darkness that we see before us, little by little, the dim outline of that great plan that shapes the universe. And I am among those who think that for this reason, science has great beauty and, with its great spiritual strength, will in time cleanse this world of its evils, its ignorance, its poverty, diseases, wars, and heartaches. Look for the clear light of truth. Look for unknown, new roads. Even when man's sight is keener far than now, divine wonder will never fail him. Every age has its own dreams. Leave, then, the dreams of yesterday. Youth, take the torch of knowledge and build the palace of the future."
"Pierre Curie: No true scientist can have anything to do with women."
