Review in Monthly Film Bulletin - October 1961 (spotted by Robin Carmody)

As the 'Leda' carries Norwegian holiday-makers from Newcastle to Bergen, the camera reaches forward to the scenery of Western Norway - fjord and mountain road, glacier and waterfall - and back to the ship as it finishes its journey.

A brief but enterprising travelogue, 'Dream of Norway' is evocative rather than informative, assembling some fine shots of Norwegian scenery against a background of Grieg Variations. The commentary, however, is rather self-consciously poetic, with its "mirth-making maidens" and "forests dabbling their roots"; the often precise and imaginative description is marred by such whimsies.
