If you've ever wanted to hear Jack Nicholson sing or marvel at the sight ofAnn-Margret drunkenly cavorting in a cascade of baked beans, Tommy is themovie you've been waiting for. The Who's brilliant rock opera is sublimelymatched by director Ken Russell's penchant for cinematic excess during thepeak of his filmmaking audacity. Tommy revolves around the 'deaf, dumb, andblind kid' (Roger Daltrey) who survives the childhood trauma that stole hissenses to become a Pinball Wizard in Pete Townshend's grandiose attack onthe hypocrisy of organised religion. Tommy's odyssey is rendered throughwall-to-wall music, from the bloodstream shock of Tina Turner to Elton John'stowering rendition of 'Pinball Wizard' and Daltrey's epiphanous rendition of'I'm Free'. Other star performers include Eric Clapton and the Who's drummerKeith Moon in this classic of creative rock cinema.Available on DVD from http://www.odeonent.co.uk
