This review is from: Marie Curie: More Than Meets the Eye [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Filmed in Ireland but set in France during The Great War (1914-18), the Canadian made-for-TVer MARIE CURIE: MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE is the story of Martine (Vansier) and Eliane (Rennison) Boudreau, two patriotic children who believe that mysterous Madame Curie (Trotter) is a German spy.

They follow the eminent scientist and her daughter (Bennett) from Paris to the front lines, where Curie hopes her portable radon-emitting machine (here, erroneously identified as an X-rayer) can be used to save the lives of wounded soldiers. Ironically, one of the men she treats is the Boudreau girls' own father (Vollebregt).


"More Than Meets the Eye" is available on DVD.
