Tommy: The Movie
This classic rock opera is brought energetically to life by an outstanding cast including many stars of the rock music industry. Told through the remarkable music of The Who, this is the story of Tommy, who, when just a boy of six, witnessed the murder of his father by his mother (Ann-Margret) and her lover (Oliver Reed). They command him, “You didn't hear it, you didn't see it, and you won't say anything to anyone…” As a result, the traumatized boy retreats into the shadows of his mind and becomes deaf, dumb and blind. Growing into manhood, Tommy (Roger Daltrey) is subjected to several bizarre cure attempts by The Acid Queen (Tina Turner), the Preacher (Eric Clapton), and the Specialist (Jack Nicholson). In spite of his handicap, Tommy defeats the Pinball Wizard (Elton John) and becomes the champ, attaining a devoted following. When he is finally cured, he is hailed by his fans as a “Messiah.”

1960-tallets superstjerne Twiggy og Broadway-dansestjerna Tommy Tune er hovedrolleinnehaverne i Ken Russels herlige komiske hyllest til Hollywood-musikalene fra 1930-tallet i The Boy Friend. Når en engelsk musikalstjerne vrikker ankelen sekunder før teppet går opp, tar den sjenerte, unge regiassistenten Polly (Twiggy) hennes plass. Forestillingen fortsetter mens Polly synger og danser sin vei gjennom et kaleidoskop av psykedeliske tolkninger av koreograf Busby Berkeleys klassiske musikalnumre. Mens publikum ser på, finner Polly kjærlighet og berømmelse før teppet går ned i The Boy Friend.
