Wissenswertes
An obvious attempt to replicate the success of Fox's big 1941 hit "Sun Valley Serenade", this film reunites that film's two stars (John Payne and Sonja Henie), brings back "Sun Valley's" director (H. Bruce Humberstone) and replaces the Glenn Miller band with Sammy Kaye's orchestra. But lightning refused to strike twice, and "Iceland"'s box office failure hastened the end of Henie's film career.

Patzer
Icelandic family names take the father or mother's first name and add either -dottir (daughter) for women and -son for men. Thus there would never be a "Papa Jonsdottir"; the name would have to end in -son as he is a man. Thus, 1) Papa's family name would be based on his parent's name, 2) Papa's wife would have a different family name from himself, as it would be based on HER parent's name, and 3) Papa's daughter would have a different family name from him, as it would be based on Papa's name.

Poor Movie --- Good Music

The storyline for the movie was nothing special. The skating was excellent for its' time and the music from the SK Orch. was excellent. Of course, I was partial to the music.....my Dad was in the band as lead trumpet player at the time and I watched the movie for that reason. He was front and center most of the time and it was neat to see him in the movie and think that as I was watching him in the movie, I was older than he was then. My Dad passed away in 1991 and it was really nice to finally find this movie on a few years ago. My sister and I "taped" it to have for the memories. John Payne did all he could with the poor storyline and made it enjoyable. Sterling Holliway was a pleasant surprise since my Dad talked about him often and that they were friends.
