CAUTION: THIS MOVIE CONTAINS A SPOILER.
Um, that would be Robert Hughes as the D.J. in search of the ultimate ABBA interview for the ultimate ABBA radio show on the ultimate radio station by his boss who gave him the original ultimatum. With all of his mishaps along the way you would think that GOD, short of killing him in a plane crash, personally didn't want him to interview the band.
This movie does have some very good moments besides the concert footage. The musical fantasy sequence during, 'The Name of the Game' was hilarious while being strangely erotic. Agnetha and Frida have the D.J. on the couch and the girls keep clamoring for the Mic in his lap. All of this is happening while Benny and Bjorn are slapping the D.J. on the back, giving out the 'thumbs up' sign or congratulating the D.J. for being alive or for making it with their wives, I'm not really sure. In any case it snapped me awake for a few minutes more in hopes that more strange and weird bits like this would come around.
The only other part I liked was the interview with the child ballerina who when asked about why she likes Abba said, "Because I sing it".
If you're a fan, you'll love the concert footage and you won't have much problem in traveling through all the bad D.J. parts, if you don't care for the band(you're not reading this now)take an ABBACAB somewhere else. It's too bad there was never a film on the greatness of, "The Brotherhood of Man". 6/10.
