Film Reviews by GJ

Both the Laurel and Hardy films I hired from Paradiso were not so good. They are certainly not Stan and Ollie’s best. I enjoy their films and they usually get a better laugh than some modern funny films. But not these two! 

Marie Cure had a hard, complicated life but is one of the intellectual giants of the past Century. She was a friend of Einstein (she went on holiday with him). She became a National Hero in France, her adopted country. Both these points are missed out in the film! However, The film just about does her justice and the cast is excellent - a very atmospheric production.. hard to make such a complicated biography accessible- but it works!
