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
A natural pick for spy-story fans and people who'll be humming afterwards. Nobody is quite who they seem. Fans of Amadeus or TÁR should feel right at home. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 47 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1940: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

A musician is offered a job in Vienna as stage director, but his disagreements with the aristocratic opera manager end in abrupt firing in spite of a mutual attraction. He's quickly engaged by another theatre and becomes famous for his lavish stage productions and fine acting, which begins their golden age with Suppé and Strauss.
