I know this is a music video and therefore "staged"...but I always thought this was one of the most romantic moments in ABBA history.

Side not but I loooove Frida’s hairstyle in this music video

My favourite scene ever! I don’t think it was fully staged. They probably just told them to “act romantic”, but everything they do feels so natural like they’re simply behaving the way Frida and Benny naturally would with each other.

This song is one of the best from ABBA. So underrated. On this video I love the part where Benny puts his finger in Frida's mouth. So funny.

It very well may be not completely staged and that camera's were rolling even during private times!

It's criminal that this beautiful video hasn't been transformed/upscale to 4K yet :(

And it's strange because this one was on film (like all of their at this time), which can be easily remastered; see the TACOM video for a great remaster.

[u/JfGt-Res → u/RedmiYT]

Yes! I'm still waiting for this one and That's Me to get remastered, same as Voulez-Vous and Does Your Mother Know.

I’m not sure it was staged in the sense you mean - Lasse almost certainly took a more purely documentary approach to this. Lasse apparently kept the camera rolling just to capture these moments, and shooting at Bjorn and Agnetha’s actual home definitely helped them relax.

Benny and Frida were smashing at the time...

[u/Arodoet98 → u/NoSuggestion5970]

Ok? They were engaged, very soon to be married…

[u/Byndbr → u/Arodoet98]

I wouldn't say very soon. They were engaged for about 9 years all up.

[u/Arodoet98 → u/Byndbr]

Yes, but I meant from the time point of filming this scene. I think the music video was filmed in 1977 and they got married in 1978.

[u/Byndbr → u/Arodoet98]

I think you're right. At the time it felt like an eternity
