Song of Norway (1970) is a bad film by any metric. A musical based on Grieg's life - if by "based on Grieg's life" you mean "had almost nothing to do with it" - it was a critical and commercial failure.
Probably what is both the most memorable and goofiest segment is the trolls part (you know, all big musicals back then had a live action and animation section). It would not be worth mentioning were it not for the fact that virtually all of the trolls are based on the great Theodor Kittelsen's artwork.
How many can you spot?

israel doing the absolute most to try and win eurovision is so baffling to me. they seem to think that would be good pr but it's so clearly the opposite? if israel wins, and that is very likely at least the public vote, it's only going to strengthen the outrage and will be an unbelievably bad look for both israel and eurovision as a whole. you're slaughtering an entire people while winning a fuckass music competition? that you're spending a ton of money on begging people to vote for you in? that's literally just going to make people so much angrier. i truly don't get how on earth they think this is a good move. and eurovision as a whole will be even more of a joke than it already is.
