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 history and war-film fans and anyone who loves a strong drama. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost. A good follow-up to Inglourious Basterds.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 22 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1953: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Peter Kuban, a Hungarian refugee, is about to be deported after jumping ship in New York harbor. He needs to find an ex-G.I. named Tom whom he helped during the war, as Tom can prove Peter's right to legal entry into the United States. If he can't find Tom within 24 hours and prove his case, he will be branded a fugitive and will be permanently disqualified for U.S. citizenship.
