Of course, this trailer spends the first minute trying to turn into the start of Phantom of the Paradise...I kid; I do love this film, and drive my S O spare with my poor Ann-Margret impressions
I'll never forget seeing Tommy for the very first time on HBO and was absolutely blown away by it and became fascinated by all the films of the great Ken Russell, but I still think the original album is vastly overrated.
This is kinda like A Clockwork Orange's psychedelia, orchestral score and absurdity mixed with Rocky Horror Show's musical arrangements and fragments of Pink Floyd's The Walls story.
I have seen this movie countless times, on tv, cable, dvd, vhs and even in the theater. The dvd is good, the blu-ray has the original Quintophonic mix, worth it for that if you have it.
I love this film, yes it is trippy and very dated in parts but the music is incredible. The actors as well plus Ken Russell's direction make it worth your while.
I've always respected good Rock Operas. I think the first one was better as far as continuity, but the second had more energy and soul into it. I also really really like Quadrophenia. No one does it quite like "The Who".
I wanted to see this movie so much that my cousin Elliott went with me somewhere in downtown Chicago at some big theatre so I could see it. My mother wouldn't have let me go there alone. It expressed what I could not at the time, I guess.
@eieiowens I agree! This great film has undergone an expensive and extensive restoration and remaster from Sony and Columbia Pictures for the blu-ray disc version and was recently screened in DLP at some recent film fests. If you have a good sound system this movie can rock on your HD home theater like never before!
The music in the trailer is the instrumental portion of 'Champagne'. Thanks for posting this. I really liked seeing it!

Except one thing; Tommy was BEFORE them.
