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
Tailor-made for anyone who likes a story with a soundtrack worth keeping and anyone who's survived a family wedding. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. A good follow-up to Help! or Grease Live. Relationships are put under a microscope, for better or worse.
The mood
Light and funny.
The pace
Breezy, at 1 hr 22 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1935: an older pace and style.
  • Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

Afraid of marriage, Simone (Mary Ellis) breaks off her long term engagement with her fiancé Paul de Lille (Tullio Carminati). Paul heads to the top of The Eiffel Tower with thoughts of suicide. In another part of Paris and also afraid of marriage, Mignon (Ida Lupino) breaks it off from her young lover (James Blakely). Despairing, Mignon also climbs to the top of the The Eiffel Tower intending to leap to her death. There she meets Paul and the two compare stories. After discussion, Paul dissuades her from leaping and the two conspire to make their respective partners jealous by pretending to have an affair with each other.
