Iceland is a 1942 musical film released by 20th Century-Fox, directed by H. Bruce Humberstone and stars skater Sonja Henie and John Payne as a U.S. Marine posted in Iceland during World War II.
[2] Fox reteamed their two leads and director from the previous year's musical Sun Valley Serenade and set the story in the then contemporary American Marine landing and occupation of Iceland in 1941.
Payne had previously played a Marine in Fox's To the Shores of Tripoli also directed by Humberstone.
[3][4] Henie's on-ice partner during the filmed skating sequences was 1940/41 U.S. Champion Eugene Turner.
Reviewer Dennis Schwartz gave the film a C+ rating, describing it as "entertaining but superficial" while giving credit to its direction and its songs.
