ABBA: The Movie is a 1977 feature length film about the pop group ABBA's Australian tour. It was directed by Lasse Hallstrom,
who directed most of the group's videos.
The Movie has become something of a cult film among ABBA fans. The film's release coincided with the release of ABBA:
The Album, that year's studio album from the group, and features many songs from that album as well as many of their earlier hits, and one
"Get on the Carousel", unavailable anywhere else.

* The introductory bars of "Hole in Your Soul" are heard to accompany the opening credits, but the song itself does not feature anywhere in the film.
*A brief snatch of "Knowing Me, Knowing You" is also heard while Ashley is stuck in a traffic jam; it is presumably coming from the radio of another car.
* "Ring Ring" is not performed by ABBA themselves in the film, but is sung by the members of a girls' ballet class Ashley speaks to for the interview
while they are practicing their routines.
* Other lesser-known ABBA tracks heard in the film are "Johan pa Snippen", "Polkan gar" and "Stoned" (instrumental).
* The country and western track that is heard playing when we see Ashley in the radio studio at the start of the film is "Please Change Your Mind"
performed by Nashville Train.
