This sparkly little clip from 1961 Finnish movie Toivelauluja is just all kinds of groovy. A blend of teen flick, Hollywood musical and old fashioned melodrama, Toivelauluja (Songs After The Heart’s Desire ) was one of the first Finnish movies to be shot in color…and what delicious color it is!  Interesting to note, this was made two years before Bye Bye Birdie.

The song is a cover of Cliff Richard’s “Living Doll.”
