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
One for anyone who likes a story with a soundtrack worth keeping and romantics. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe.
What might put you off
  • It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1953: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

The singer and dancer Vera Opalinska performs as Arlette in 1920s Paris, where she is a star. Next on the agenda is a tour of the United States. The contract is to be signed after a final, highly acclaimed show. During the negotiations, her new PR agent asks about her background.
