Director: Mervyn LeRoy
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Medical history MGM-style as the on-screen husband and wife who battled through the Blitz in the Oscar-winning Mrs Miniver roll up their sleeves in the lab and get on with the dogged business of discovering radium. Actually, the pop science angle is done rather well, but Garson's evident sanctity brings an air of portentousness to the film that it could clearly do without. If you want the basics on where X-ray technology came from, you could do worse. From the book by Eve Curie.Author: TJ
