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
Right up the alley of anyone drawn to the darker side of the street. Paris does a lot of the work, and it looks wonderful.
The mood
Gritty.
The pace
Moves along nicely, at 1 hr 35 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1953: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

Arriving in Paris, Madeleine Marsan rents a room in a guesthouse where she makes the acquaintance of Pierre Ruffin, a respectable municipal librarian. Through Pierre, Madeleine finds work as a schoolteacher and soon realises that she is in love with him. Then she discovers that Pierre is in truth the head of a band of crooks. Caught by the police after a failed robbery, Pierre manages to escape. With Madeleine’s help, he goes on the run.
