song of norway be an unbearably dull musical pastiche of clichés heard in every musical ever make that purport to be the saga of a composer struggle to find recognition for his music . edvard grieg struggle be so dull a to be non stop in this awful compilation of norwegian scenery by the truckload with no story to carry it . it be notable that the man who play grieg and toralv maurstad and never do make another american film and so disastrous be the review and box office for this dull saga . note also that florence henderson be not able to make another film in hollywood but go directly to television and stay there for a very successful run on the brady bunch . see the film and you will judge yourself why it be an abject failure . and do not be fool by the presence of oskar homolka and edward g. robinson and robert morley in the cast . they have little or nothing to do . music lover may be enchant by grieg work and but not the way they be present here . nor be there any resemblance between the zestful sound of music and it picturesque way of deal with the von trapp singer and this dull a dishwater musical that would work well a a travelogue of norway with the plot excise . see it at your own risk .
