Fun Stuff

Trivia:
While filming a tall, skinny man with glasses and a black mustache kept walking around the sets and getting into picture, ruining takes. Eventually director Tage Danielsson lost his temper and asked the man to leave. The whole cast and crew started laughing. It turned at that the annoying man was actor Martin Ljung and that it all was just a prank the crew played on Tage. more

Simply a Joy, 14 April 2000
10/10
Author: brian.diehm from Portland, Oregon

This is a joyful film, a celebration of life, and just a lot of fun. I remember it from the '70s, when our local art house showed it -- and my wife and I must have seen it a half dozen times. I'd still love to get a video copy (with English subtitles!). This is probably the most fun way, bar none, to get a glimpse into Norse mythology, while also saving the Swedish countryside. It is only ironic that this movie pre-dates EuroDisney by, oh, a couple decades! This film sings -- and the music is part of the fun. This makes you believe in life and love again.
