  ABBA - The Movie
  
  Awful, very dated (of course) with wooden acting and a dreadful story. Listen to the music if you must on CD and forget this film.

  Forget the story...love the live performances
  
  Wish they had just showed Abba in concert. Flick through the rest and watch the live performances.
