ABBAmania: that was the name given to the hysterical worship of four Swedes that enthralled Australia during an intense period in the mid-1970s. This phenomenon reached its high-point as ABBA conducted an enormously successful tour "Down Under" in March 1977.

The feverish madness of the tour was captured on film in director Lasse Hallstrom's ABBA - The Movie, which remains as one of precious few opportunities to experience ABBA live onstage. In the film, we follow radio disc jockey Ashley Wallace as he tries to hunt down the group for an exclusive, in-depth interview. Will he make it or not?

Experience the excitement of ABBA's music and the mania that surrounded them in this very first DVD release of ABBA - The Movie!
  • Featurette: "Looking Back" (SD, 40 minutes) - ABBA members Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson are joined by director Lasse Hallstrom, for an amusing chat. To give credit to Hallstrom, he could easily have been embarrassed by his ABBA past (in addition to 'The Movie,' he shot most of their cheesy promo videos, too), but here he comes off as bemused but grateful for the experience his association with the band allowed. Ulvaeus and Andersson have also been the most vocal members of the band over the past couple of decades, and they are typically lauding of Hallstrom's efforts if hardly critical of the flaws of the movie -- "Looking Back" is certainly more wistful nostalgia than hard-hitting documentary. Still, a fun watch.
  • Interactive Tour Souvenir Program Gallery (SD) - I remember when I was a kid, my neighbor got to see ABBA in concert during their first (and it would turn out, last) U.S. concert tour in 1979, but she would never let me look at her tour program (whatever -- I never let her win in Kick the Can, so there). So this nice feature comes close, which reprints the entire 1977 tour book in all its full-color glory. However, I'm not sure about the "interactive" hyperbole, as the manual controls are pretty standard.
  • Interactive Memorabilia Gallery (SD) - As with the above gallery, this one is nicely presented (if basic), and shows off some of the fabulously tacky ABBA tour merchandise of the era, including some cool iron-on T-shirts. Oh, how I miss the '70s...
  • Promo Materials (SD) - Our magical mystery tour of all things 'ABBA: The Movie' ends with the film's theatrical trailer, plus two TV commercials for 'ABBA: The Album' (which 'The Movie' was partly designed to promote at the time).
