Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Right up the alley of romantics and anyone who loves a strong drama. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something. A good follow-up to Fiddler on the Roof.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 42 min.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1962: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

A young American woman traveling in Italy with her mother is slender, blonde, beautiful and there is something charmingly naive about her. Fabrizio Naccarelli seems to always know where the mother and daughter will sightsee next. Signor Naccarelli is just as concerned about where this will lead as Mrs. Johnson is. Then she starts thinking that perhaps her daughter can be a wife of a wealthy young man in a society where all she has to do is look beautiful. What happens if Signor Naccarelli finds out who his prospective daughter-in-law really is?
