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 anyone in the mood for a love story. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Shelve it next to Victor/Victoria or Barefoot in the Park.
The mood
Light and funny, romantic.
The pace
Quick and easy-going, at 1 hr 43 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1942: an older pace and style.
  • Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

Young Count Georg Wolkersheim is sent to the Congress of Vienna to represent the interests of his country, Reuss-Schleiz-Greiz. Tensions arise between the count, his wife Melanie, and their two chamberlains, and when the four attend a court ball, Melanie leaves Georg, assumes the identity of a famous actress, and attracts the affections of Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria.
