Herbert Stothart scores - MADAME CURIE (1943)

Although his style of scoring is rather lightly dismissed by some critics in comparison to that of some later MGM composers and orchestrators, Hebert Stothart's (1885-1949) adaptation and scoring of the background music in THE WIZARD OF OZ (1939), much of which he actually composed, is still considered a masterpiece. It won Stothart his only Oscar.

This is only a clip of his Oscar-nominated score to MADAME CURIE (1943), containing the opening titles music and first incidental music cue of the film's score.

To see the rest, please borrow, rent, or buy the film. This is only a sample of Herbert Stothart's Oscar-nominated score of the film and to upload the rest of the film would be a violation of copyright laws, with severe consequences on my part. Sorry!

Thanks for posting the opening credits and a moment of the film. But I would like to see the rest.

I love the score to Madame Curie. It sincerely captures and enhances the many notes of the Curie's life in this film (truly one of the best of the film biographies). I love Stothart's work as well as several other of the Golden Age composers. I've heard Stothart scores described as 'molten fudge' which I think is a terrible dismissmal of the beautiful shading he created in character motiefs and main themes . I'm biased to be sure, but I think it's GLORIOUS.  Thanks so much for posting.
