Plot
The film follows the book What Do You Care What Other People Think? fairly closely in terms of the stories told.
The film starts in 1924 with Richard and his father Melville walking through the woods where Melville shows his scientific inspiration for Richard.
In 1934, Richard and Arline are in high school and their romantic relationship starts.
The story then jumps to his college years and Arline getting sick with lymphatic tuberculosis.
It continues to his move west to Los Alamos National Laboratory in Los Alamos, New Mexico, where Arline follows him later to a hospital in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where she dies.
The film ends with Feynman crying at the sight of the red dress Arline had pointed out.

Production
In 1994, Broderick said of the project, "The obvious way to structure a film about Feynman would be to open with the Challenger disaster: The crazy old genius comes along and figures everything out, then he drifts into a reverie along the lines of 'A long time ago I met a girl.. . .' We didn't do that, because we want this to be an intimate movie and thought focusing on one period of his life that includes the invention of the bomb and the death of his first wife was enough."[1]
Broderick later said in 1997, "It was a difficult job and took four years from start to finish."[5]
Reception
The film has a 62% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.[6] Roger Ebert awarded the film three stars.[7] Leonard Maltin awarded it two and a half stars.[8]
Emanuel Levy of Variety gave the film a negative review and described the film as "a flawed movie that suffers from a weak performance by Patricia Arquette."[9] On the other hand, John Krewson of The A.V. Club gave it a positive review and wrote that "saps, scientific or otherwise, will enjoy it."[10]
