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 anyone who likes a story with a soundtrack worth keeping and music lovers. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. A good follow-up to Yankee Doodle Dandy or The Jazz Singer. Set in sun-baked Los Angeles.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 34 min.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1949: an older pace and style.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
In 1924, stage-struck Boston blueblood Hannah Adams picks up musical star Tim O'Connor and takes him home for dinner. One thing leads to another, and when Tim's show rolls on to Chicago a new Mrs. O'Connor comes along as incompetent chorus girl. Hollywood beckons, and we follow the star careers of the O'Connor family in silents and talkies.
