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
Aimed squarely at people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter and anyone who loves a strong drama. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something. Liked The Magnificent Ambersons? This is a good next one.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 30 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1957: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Young Josefa Maria, a great-great-granddaughter of Emperor Franz Josef of Austria, is engaged to a count, as befits her status, but she hardly knows him. Young Josefa Maria, a great-great-granddaughter of Emperor Franz Josef of Austria, is engaged to a count, as befits her status, but she hardly knows him.
