Radio review – Lux – “Madame Curie” (1946) ***

Of course its silly and glamorised, but if you’re in the mood it’s actually a lot of fun to have Mr and Mrs Miniver discover uranium together in domestic MGM style. Lots of “hello darling have some breakfast where are the isotopes”. I enjoyed it and Greer Garson and Walter Pigeon are perfectly cast; history has been worse served and I’m sure this inspired a few scientific careers (not to mention feminists).
