Monday Morning Maybeearly ratingWhy 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
- One for anyone who likes life-or-death stakes every episode and people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter. Life-and-death stakes, often at a run. Sits nicely alongside The Age of Innocence or Love Story.
- The mood
- Warm and romantic.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 38 min.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1949: an older pace and style.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
Dr. Michael Corday, a recent graduate of the Harvard Medical School, is the son of Dr. John Corday, an eminent New York City surgeon who has a tendency to continue to direct the lives of his grown children. The daughter, Fabienne, runs away from home, and Michael, after first following his father's advice of being callous to the point of cruelty toward patients, changes when he falls in love with a patient, marries her and sets up his practice on the lower East Side in New York.
