Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
If you count yourself among music lovers and anyone who likes knowing it really happened, this one's for you. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Liked The Age of Innocence? This is a good next one. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 42 min.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1951: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Italian immigrant Rudolph Valentino makes it big in silent Hollywood, but he ends up struggling between his career and the woman he loves.
