** Evert Taube was 80 years old during the film’s production, and while his songwriting skills were still sharp, he was clearly feeling his age as a performer, having to resort to SpokenWord for his two appearances. Still, as the whole film was pretty much a tribute to his music, his presence feels like a fitting tribute, more than anything.
** In general, the SuddenMusicalEnding, with its Midsummer’s Eve-inspired ceremony, ''Calle Schewen’s Waltz'' being performed, ''and'' various mythical creatures being present, borders (ironically) on being the ThemeParkVersion of Sweden, but the sheer commitment to the whole thing just about makes it loop back around to ”awesome themed wedding.”
