Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Right up the alley of people who love relationship stories and history and war-film fans. Relationships are put under a microscope, for better or worse. A good follow-up to Casablanca or Doctor Zhivago. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 24 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1942: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Aircraft workers during during World War II become involved in a love triangle.
