ABBA in Switzerland (1979 TV Movie)
7/10
ABBA in Switzerland
21 November 2023
By 1979 Abba were one of the biggest bands in the world. Even though they did not have consistent pop hits in the USA.

With a busy schedule, divorces on the horizon and more hit singles to emerge.

They recorded this BBC special in Leysin in the Swiss Alps. It is a pseudo variety show. It starts off with some dancers, there are guest performances from Roxy Music and Kate Bush.

Although Abba perform some songs on stage which are lip synched. Others are performed in an ice skating rink and a ski resort.

It really is a snow special and heavily linked to the UNESCO International Year of the Child in 1979. The band donated their fees to the cause.

This TV special is a rare chance to see Abba let their hair down, even seen relaxing a little.
