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
Tailor-made for music lovers and people who love relationship stories. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. If you loved Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans or Jane Eyre, start here. Relationships are put under a microscope, for better or worse.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 8 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1932: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Nightclub singer Joan Gordon runs away from her gangster boyfriend to become a mail-order bride to a struggling North Dakota farmer. Their relationship has a rocky start, but just as Joan realizes she's developing feelings for her husband, her old boyfriend arrives to win her back.
