Some of 'Katina' floats beautifully, some of it sinks badly

5/10

"Sonja Henie was always watchable, even in her weakest films, and a marvel at ice skating. Her filmography was very much a mixed bag. There are charmers and gems such as 'Sun Valley Serenade', 'Second Fiddle' and 'Lovely to Look At'. However, there are also wildly uneven and average films such as 'It's a Pleasure', 'Everything Happens at Night' and 'One in a Million'.

💡 Did You Know?

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.
