Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, 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
Made for crime-drama fans. If you loved The Cotton Club or The Asphalt Jungle, start here.
The mood
Dark and gritty.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 35 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1957: an older pace and style.

Due to a lack of money, Hamburg pub owner Jonny Jensen brings two partners on board. As soon as the contract is finalized, the ex-sea bear is almost struck by a blow: the shady duo want to turn his quaint harbour bar "Herz von St. Pauli" into a demimonde pub with lingerie shows. Jonny can't let that happen!
