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
Right up the alley of anyone who loves a story about hope against the odds and anyone who likes watching an argument won. The walls close in, and so does the tension. Liked Witness for the Prosecution or The Insider? This is a good next one. The best scenes are battles fought with words.
The mood
Tense.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 40 min.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1959: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

A California commercial pilot sees a telecast in London of an interview with Sir Mark Lodden at his home. The Canadian is convinced that the baronet is a fraud, and he is actually a look-alike actor named Frank Welney.
