This discovery will be hugely beneficial to mankind, we could use it to generate electricity so cheaply that they won't bother metering it, and best of all, it will be perfectly safe!! Thank you scientists!!
@@iroll All she knew about radiation was taught to her by Becquerel, apparently. It was the '50s and the filmmakers couldn't conceive of a woman being anything more than a lab assistant. By the way, isn't the actor playing Pierre the same guy playing Becquerel, just with a better trimmed beard?
It really is no big deal. When you're actually educated on the topic, you know when to stay away from something and when it's harmless. Instead of just mindlessly fearing anything that someone else labels as "radiation".
Good film of basic 1950's understanding of radiation. It does turn Madame Curie into a prop for her husband, she was really the better scientist.
Thank you 🙏. For all of them.

Yeah. I remember that too so cheap to produce it's not even worth paying for.
@@badcompany-w6s Indeed, we were conned again, then they came out with the "Common Market" and we fell for that as well, for a while.
Scientists can be so scientific!
And we could do it if it weren't for the bleeding hearts who run the West and the nuclear regulatory agencies.
Can you name a safer source of electrical energy?
I thought a bio shock video had started. love that 50's presenter voice
There at the end. Dr. Here you just hold this while I turn it on.
Radium makes great smoothies! Makes you regular. :-)
The dating and decay properties we learned about upset a lot of sacred fables place in history.
The teacher looks like Henri Richard, the great center for the Montreal Canadiens. He won 11 Stanley Cups!
With a friend like the Friendly Atom, who needs enemies?
Wow they are allowed to handle cobalt-60 with bare hands back in those days!
2 years after this film, everyone in it was dead
Marie Curie is portrayed as Pierre's wide-eyed student rather than a researcher in her own right.
I was just about to make the same comment.

That’s the 1950’s for ‘ya. Forget that in the ‘40’s women stepped up into many roles vacated by men during WWII.
Probably does not exist but dressed up with large explosions . Free energy is abundant and accessible and is what is being used .
Hell I sprinkle plutonium on my cereal .. LOL
If you are going to mention "billions and billions" you are required to do it in a Carl Sagan voice.
Makes me cringe watching them handle that thinking it was no big deal. 😱
The risks involved in radioactive materials is very misunderstood.
Very, very, VERY misunderstood.
There's no such things as "safe level". Just worsening degree of cell damage with exposure.

Originally released in 1953.
