Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and little 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
Great for people who like their stories with a little danger and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Paris does a lot of the work, and it looks wonderful.
The mood
Dark and gritty.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 22 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1935: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

Hot jewels from London make their way to New York, where they are stolen by racketeer Ed Dexter, who hides them with the help of his vivacious girlfriend, Vivian Palmer. Federal agent Ross McBride goes undercover to infiltrate the gang and, suspecting Vivian can lead him to the jewels, comes to her aid when she is chased by a rival gang. The two flee to the Midwest with both gangs in pursuit, but Vivian is not as gullible as Ross thinks.
