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 people who can't resist a good whodunit and anyone in the mood for a love story. The investigation drives everything, one lead at a time. Liked Dial M for Murder or True Grit? This is a good next one.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 5 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1940: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if romance makes you roll your eyes.

A secretary sends a coded plea for help in her monthly report; two detectives investigate and find out that men are jailed on phony charges, forced to work in oil fields and then murdered if they try to escape.
