Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, 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
Aimed squarely at fans of medical drama and anyone interested in what war does to ordinary people. Life-and-death stakes, often at a run. Fans of The Bridge on the River Kwai or Empire of the Sun should feel right at home.
The mood
Intense.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 31 min.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1939: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

A doctor's medical studies are threatened by his infatuation with a Chinese girl. The girl returns to China, but complications ensue when she runs into him in Nanking during a Japanese bombing raid.
