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 music lovers and people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. A good follow-up to Grease Live.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Unhurried and epic, at 2 hr 35 min.
What might put you off
  • It's long: 2 hr 35 min.
  • Skip it if romance makes you roll your eyes.

Paris, after the end of the Second World War: GI Jerry Mulligan stays in the City of Lights after falling in love with a mademoiselle at first sight. Being a stranger, Jerry gets to know pianist Adam Hochberg, who - unbeknownst to Jerry - adores the same woman. The two of them have to work together for a ballet with said woman, who is promised to Henri Baurel. Henri also gets acquainted with Jerry and Adam.
