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: A natural pick for anyone who likes a story with a soundtrack worth keeping and music lovers. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top.
The mood: Easygoing.
The pace: Moves along nicely, at 20 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off: Made in 1930: an older pace and style.

This short subject was done by Paul Whiteman's Rhythm boys shortly after they finished The King of Jazz where lead singer Bing Crosby made his motion picture debut. Shortly afterwards the trio broke up and Bing went solo and the rest was history. When a well-liked tailor is about to lose his story his daughter and a young singing group try to save it.
