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
Great for people who'll be humming afterwards and romantics. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Same wavelength as A Star Is Born.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 37 min.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1950: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Snooty opera singer meets a rough-and-tumble fisherman in the Louisiana bayous, but this fisherman can sing! Her agent lures him away to New Orleans to teach him to sing opera but comes to regret this rash decision when the singers fall in love.
