If you've ever wanted to hear Jack Nicholson sing or marvel at the sight of
Ann-Margret drunkenly cavorting in a cascade of baked beans, Tommy is the
movie you've been waiting for. The Who's brilliant rock opera is sublimely
matched by director Ken Russell's penchant for cinematic excess during the
peak of his filmmaking audacity. Tommy revolves around the 'deaf, dumb, and
blind kid' (Roger Daltrey) who survives the childhood trauma that stole his
senses to become a Pinball Wizard in Pete Townshend's grandiose attack on
the hypocrisy of organised religion. Tommy's odyssey is rendered through
wall-to-wall music, from the bloodstream shock of Tina Turner to Elton John's
towering rendition of 'Pinball Wizard' and Daltrey's epiphanous rendition of
'I'm Free'. Other star performers include Eric Clapton and the Who's drummer
Keith Moon in this classic of creative rock cinema.
