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
Tailor-made for crime fans and fans of a well-timed joke. Expect bad people, worse choices and a few surprises. A good follow-up to Get Shorty.
The mood
Light and funny.
The pace
Breezy, at 1 hr 23 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1938: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

A dashing but mysterious man saves a gambler from suicide, crashes the posh party of a prominent industrialist, falls in love with his daughter, and finds himself in a web of intrigue revolving around her blackmailing fiance and a gang of counterfeiters.
