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
If you count yourself among people who love relationship stories and anyone with a complicated family (so, everyone), this one's for you. Relationships are put under a microscope, for better or worse. Shelve it next to Twister or Airport. Family ties get tested in ways that ring true.
The mood
Exciting.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 30 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1947: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

In this aerial melodrama, four brothers working as stunt pilots for a flying circus leave their jobs to become mail pilots. Because their job requires that they constantly travel, they are advised to not settle down with wives and kids. Still, one pilot falls in love and marries. Unfortunately, the woman dislikes his brothers and constantly worries that he will be killed during a flight. Her fears are not unfounded and much tragedy ensues as the story unfolds.
