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
One for spy-story fans and anyone who likes a story with a soundtrack worth keeping. Nobody is quite who they seem. If you loved High Society or How to Marry a Millionaire, start here. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top.
The mood
Light and funny, romantic.
The pace
Zips along, at 1 hr 39 min.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1944: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.

Show business twin sisters Rosemary and Susie, one serious and the other a scatterbrain, join the WAVES and both fall in love with crooner Johnny Cabot.
