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
Best for people who need a good giggle and western fans. Low effort, high reward: just press play. Sits nicely alongside The Ballad of Buster Scruggs or Blazing Saddles.
The mood
Light and funny.
The pace
Breezy, at 1 hr 9 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1962: an older pace and style.
  • Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

Western-themed sexploitation romp combining Jerry Shafer's unreleased nudie cutie The Wide Open Spaces with Francis Coppola's student short The Peeper. In a Sunset Strip burlesque club, a miner and a moralist plot an explosion at midnight, sharing tales of desire and hypocrisy as they drink and watch the show.
