Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for romantics.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 37 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1956: an older pace and style.

César Neira, an almost forgotten Spanish actor, gets involved by chance with Teresa, a teacher from a small village in the province of Cáceres, who has won a radio contest. The prize is a trip to Madrid to experience just for a fortnight the life of the famous and wealthy people.
