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: Best for anyone who likes knowing it really happened and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards.
The mood: Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace: Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 5 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off: Made in 1928: an older pace and style.
Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

A duke has deposed Prince Mauritz's father, so Mauritz spends his time in affairs with a countess, the duke's wife and a gypsy girl Adrienne. Years later she is a famous actress in a play resembling the sad story of their earlier relationship. He falls in love with her again. The jealous duchess and the duke arrange to have him shot by firing squad but revolutionaries save him and make him King.
