Here is a rare original Belgian movie poster from the 1st release of Mervyn LeRoy's biographical film about the trailblazing woman physicist,
Madame Curie
. The film tells the story of Polish- French physicist Marie Curie in 1890's Paris as she begins to share a laboratory with her future husband, Pierre. This eventually leads to the discovery of pure radium and being awarded the Nobel Prize. This poster is from the first release of the
movie in Belgium shortly after the end of WWII, probably in 1947. It is printed on the reverse of an ordnance map which was common practice in order to conserve paper. It features beautiful portrait artwork of Garson and Pidgeon that is unique to this Belgian release poster which seldom comes up for sale or auction.  Another prime example of outstanding Belgian movie poster art.
