Peer Gynt – Anitras Dance, which film has people dancing to this?
Song of Norway (1970) Wikipedia synopsis: “Song of Norway” is a 1970 film adaptation of the successful stage musical of the same name, directed by Andrew L. Stone. Like the play from which it derived, the film tells of the early struggles of composer Edvard Grieg and his attempts to develop an authentic Norwegian national music. It stars Toralv Maurstad as Grieg and features an international cast including Florence Henderson (“The Brady Bunch” mother), Robert Morley, Harry Secombe, Oscar Homolka, Edward G. Robinson and Frank Porretta (as Rikard Nordraak). Filmed in Super Panavision 70 and presented in Cinerama in some countries, it was a clear attempt to capitalize on the success of “The Sound of Music” but suffered from a weak script, poor editing (by the director’s wife), unappealing animation and an ill-advised stunt sequence (directed by Yakima Canutt) that appeared to portray Grieg as an action hero.
