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
One for fans of newsroom stories and readers who like to compare the book and the screen version. It's about the digging, and what it costs to get the story. Fans of Born on the Fourth of July or Casualties of War should feel right at home. Adapted from a book, so readers can compare notes.
The mood
Tense, intense.
The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 45 min.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1959: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

In 1941 Greece, on the eve of German occupation, cynical American foreign correspondent Michael Morrison arrives in Athens, intending to depart for London the following day. While there he is tricked into smuggling a list of resistance leaders out of the country and is pursued by the Germans.
