Tommy 1975 Trailer

If you ve ever wanted to hear Jack Nicholson sing or marvel at the sight of AnnMargret 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 walltowall 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. Available on DVD from
