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
Made for anyone with a bit of wanderlust and anyone who likes stories from the past brought to life. A good one for when you want to be swept off somewhere else. Fans of True Grit or The Guns of Navarone should feel right at home.
The mood
Exciting.
The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 30 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1943: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Having found the fabulous treasure of which Abbé Faria had spoken to him, Dantès has only one idea left: revenge. He will succeed patiently, but will not however have the heart to break the poor Mercedes. Then he will leave for the East, accompanied by a lovely Levantine, Haydé, who served him to accomplish his revenge.
