Agnetha Fältskog frequently was filmed above the neck in closeups to disguise the fact that she was pregnant.
Part of this film's storyline has journalist Robert Hughes continually seeking an interview with ABBA. Early during the tour, ABBA was not told about this to provide authenticity. They had believed that the actor was a real reporter trying to get a scoop.
Around the time of this film's theatrical release, Stig Anderson said of ABBA's enormous popularity in Australia, where this concert movie was filmed: "Australia is still the biggest market in the world for ABBA. People in the music industry all over the world have been stunned with what has happened here."
Most of the concert footage of ABBA's 1977 Australian tour that was used for this film came from their five Perth concerts in Western Australia. This was because the concert venue there, the Perth Entertainment Centre, was the only indoors stadium on the tour, and the conditions there were best suited for acoustic recording and would not be affected by any bad weather elements.
In 2003, The Swedish Film Institute restored the film to its original soundtrack after the original stereo sound had been lost for years. The film was premiered in its new version on 2 December 2003, at Stockholm's Film House with Benny Andersson attending.
