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: Tailor-made for readers who like to compare the book and the screen version and anyone who loves trying to stay one step ahead. Adapted from a book, so readers can compare notes. Sits nicely alongside The Trouble with Harry.
The mood: Darkly funny, tense.
The pace: Breezy, at 1 hr 47 min.
What might put you off: It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Made in 1958: an older pace and style.
Not ideal if you just want to unwind.

"Le septième ciel" became Raymond Bernard's last film; a black comedy about a female brewery owner who donates vast amounts of money to charitable causes. The funds to do this, she raises through her liaisons with wealthy gentlemen... who just "happen" to end up dead!
