Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Agnetha Fältskog's final acting role—she returned to ABBA and never acted again, making this a fascinating one-off.
Raskenstam was a genuine Swedish folk villain; the real man seduced over 100 women and died in 1973, making this a surprisingly contemporary true crime story for 1983.
