Ann Margret - beans and chocolate

[robertsimmons55]

I love when she begins to "fiddle about" with that pillow..................FIDDLE ABOUT!

[iskim86]

1:05 is my favorite part.

[rockerforlife2001]

She made this look hot.

[poughkeepsiejohn1]

I guess you could say Ken Russell was the Lars Von Trier of his day, making strange movies with unsettling subject matters and making his actors do things they wouldn't normally do. This was an Ann-Margret we hardly ever see.

[chargerbill]

RIP Mr. Russell

[TulseLuper]

RIP Ken Russell.

[RatkosKorner]

Reminds a bit of the ending of Cronenberg's Videodrome.

[VIDEOFREAK076]

@RatkosKorner I've never seen that film. How do you mean?

[RatkosKorner]

@VIDEOFREAK076

At a certain point, the TV explodes and entrails start to pour out of it. You know, the poetry of Cronenberg regarding the flesh and the machine.

[Ursulauu]

I'm a woman and I absolutely LOVE this scene with Ann, love Tommy and of course love The Who!!!



[planetrob555]

Greatest scenes ever? Um....

[sarahs862]

A very sexy scene. She was, after all Ann Margaret and Ken Russell knew a good body to cover in chocolate when he saw it.

[MislaidAlbum]

Acid is a crazy drug.

[airbloit]

Oh to be the pillow O_O

[TheHotrockfan]

I'm sorry but beans and chocolate? that had to be STINKY! lol

[KatheHanna]

Of all the humiliating things actors have had to do, this one beats them all. Ann-Margret, you have my sympathy.

I always figured this shows her insanity caused by guilt at what she has done to her son as manifested in her extreme materialism that is set off by the close succession of commercials for the three items and seeing Tommy on TV... but really, Ken Russell, I'm SURE there's another way to show that than this sexist drivel.

[rubicon1983]

@KatheHanna Gag me please. Sexist drivel.......how about pure entertainment?

[KatheHanna]

@rubicon1983 I was exaggerating a bit here... No, It's not 'sexist drivel' like i said. I personally (that being the key word here) dislike this scene. 

[rubicon1983]

@KatheHanna It's ok. I'm guessing your a woman. I'm a man and love the Who, the movie and Ann circa '75.

[KatheHanna]

So... Ann Margaret, covered in a mud-like substance writhing around on a bed with a giant phallus... that's not innuendo at all.

[soaringvulture]

Well, I'll be dipped in shit.

[rubicon1983]

This is some SEXY shit. Ann Margret showing how its done.

[JackStonexp]

it looks like Lady Gaga still has a loooooooooooong way to go.

[icinglover95]

This is so weird. Why on earth do men like this?

[rubicon1983]

@icinglover95 You're either a woman or gay?

[Cance251]

@rubicon1983 It's a woman.

[popsnorman]

What a mess

[renues]

Hot

[SpamNapkin]

THERE'S SHIT EVERYWHERE

[s00zster]

That's the most erotic dirty protest I've ever seen.

[ChrisW164]

The greatest scene in any movie anywhere by anyone.

[SnugglySara]

Happy 70th birthday, Mrs. Walker!

[spangle69]

The cultural high spot of the 1970s!

[brandylovestomatoes3]

What. The hell.

[HvonS]

A masterpiece of modern cinematography!

[tricesimo]

One of the biggest "HUH?????" moments in movie history.

[AlexM112973]

love how she just faceplants on the bed...HONK!!..it would be great to add the sound of a clown horn as she lands.

[snessabear21]

WHAT THE FUCK ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! :O

[bearchewtoy75]

@snessabear21 It was the 70's. It all makes more sense if you do LOTS and LOTS of cocaine!

[notalott]

HOLY FRIJOLES!

[TheNEWfilmfanatic99]

Now if Ann Margret were a 12 year old boy, and the machne spewing liquids my penis...

[TheNEWfilmfanatic99]

I'm 12 years old and what is this?"

[19hayleylouise]

@TheNEWfilmfanatic99 its the movie version of a rock opera written by The Who

[TheNEWfilmfanatic99]

@19hayleylouise I'm not actually a 12 year old. The thing I said is a popular internet meme that was made by some random commenter on youtube when anynomous replaced all youtube videos with porn for a day.

[TheSHEERHEARTATTACK]

You gotta admit 1:10 is FUCKING HOT

[billsurf101]

ha....ive got pillow envy!!!!!!! lmao

[Mattus]

wow is that ann margret !

is the best actor and the hottest mum

[LeeJTurnock]

Holy fucking shit! I could not believe my eyes when I first saw this. Recently showed it to my nephew Luke who has a pathological hatred of baked beans...he wasn't impressed! They nearly knocked her backwards at 0:26!

[amirhamzaalfaruqi]

@LeeJTurnock Best comment ever, haha

[MrRoughone]

Yum.

[UnseenPerson]

This part always creeped me out to extremes when I was younger

[ViaCydonia]

she's hot :D

[mrADA]

... with all the chocolate on her

[arillle]

Nice waste of food

[satweavers]

I watched this a couple of years ago... and realized what absolute misery Ann Margaret endured for this pointless, stupid scene. That sludge they were deluging her with was probably cold and revolting. The lowest point of her career.

[mrADA]

its her best film

[seonfox]

@satweavers lmao. that's cause ann margret is a talentless dumbass

[korgri]

@satweavers

It wasn't so pointless and stupid if you were a fourteen year old boy watching it... that oh so lucky long thin pillow was the envy of many an adolescent back in the 70's....

[VIDEOFREAK076]

@korgri I still envy that pillow today :-)

[jackric54]

Ann-Margret at her best and was Oscar-nominated as Best Actress!!!

[Hollywoodsteve]

@jackric54 and she WON the golden globe!

[phonegalfitness]

LOL Ann-Margret is my hero..

[mukatuna]

This has to be one of my favourite scenes of 70s cinema. Ann-Margret wallowing in soap-suds, baked beans and chocolate.

[jenzeppelin]

classic scene - it baffled me when i first saw it as a 6th grader years and years and years ago - but even then i knew it was cool on some weird level.

[OhStopWithThis]

i think that's going to happen to me when i finally snap... lol

[beanieandbear]

im on the verge of doing that any minute

[RuinerxxSINCITY]

As much as I would have loved to roll around in all that with her back when this was made, and possibly be that pillow, you really have to feel bad for the guys who had to clean all that shit up.

[vishnuthegreat]

was she making love to a pillow?

[22Swep]

what did just happen!!?

talkin´ bout pressing the wrong link, crap

[cubsfan1591]

this is wrong on SO many levels,  especially at 1:11

[subscooby]

This scene is erotic and grotesque in equal measure. I saw it as a kid (as many people here seem to have) and thought 'urgh, that was horrible. But I kind of want to watch it again, though I don't quite know why...'

[FredDESTRUCTIONGROUP]

i love this movie

[Callimera9]

I do too but this scene is just wrong ..... =S

[imabigkidnow3124]

This is so funny, but what does it have to do with the plot......

wait this is Tommy, there is no plot

[lowryfern]

It seems to be related to the products that the member of the Who are flogging on the cover of "The Who" sell out..and it's obviously fetishistic...maybe Russell is trying to make the point that Tommy's mother is too caught up in her neurotic need for material things and can't give Tommy the love he needs.

[englishman10000]

I seem to remember that those are the three products in the ads she is watching on TV when Tommy is crowned pinball wizard...just before this scene.

[furryisthenewedgy]

The original chocolate rain.

[neoboy42]

Wow. People who are into splooshing must loooove this scene.

[mattratt512]

i approve of this.

[bunnybooties]

Woo,I've had some bowel movements like this!LOL!XD

[jeffgent]

I didn't realize that she did a scat fetish porn? LOL

[buyamoon]

Willie Wonka must be rolling over in his skittles & kitkats.(Gimme a butterfinger now before I die!)

[Cathodeon]

WTF BOOM

[Saranm25]

it must have been such a blast to shoot this scene! I bet those of you with food fetishes loved this.

[mattratt512]

you know it was bro.

[duttybg]

@Saranm25 LOOOOOOL

[Hankleberg]

@Saranm25 the first time they shot it she ended up in the ER. She sliced her hand open on a shard of glass that flew out of the TV and was mixed in the beans so she went to ER covered in this stuff to get stitches.

[mattratt512]

i can watch this all day.

[blueangel0925]

I sure hope those beans were at least lukewarm before she was bombarded with them. This truly is one of the best scenes in cinema history, and just about the best part of the movie!

[thebeatles4everxox]

wtf?

she's covered in chocolate and humping a pillow... wtf.

[VIDEOFREAK076]

I also love 1:06 to 1:08 where you get a glimpse of her soles. I always wanted to lick them.

[VIDEOFREAK076]

I remember seeing this when I was a kid for the first time and at the 0.53 to 1.03 mark is where I really think I started puberty. I love the way to chocolate is sitting on her head as she throws more at the mirror.

[venim619]

Seriously, how can you not think dirty thoughts at 1:10?

[Hollywoodsteve]

No, it IS chocolate, not mud. Her fantasy is about the products in the commercials: Detergent soap, beans and chocolate.

[tykemeawaywyou]

what the frenchtoast!?

[gangstametalhead]

Can you upload the whole movie please?

[mrsmagloo]

I remember hearing an interview years ago where Ann said she there was broken glass mixed in with the beans and she cut her hand bandly enough to suspend filming and go to the ER.

[skrat5]

Yup; I heard that interview too; she almost lost a finger. My favorite character was Keith Moon as Uncle Ernie. :)

[MarchingSax2010]

FYI manferot, it isn't chocolate, it's mud from the race track. One of the weirdest scenes in this amazing movie though.

(If it isn't already posted, you should put Amazing Journey on here)

[Grafietstift]

Err, why is she doing that?

[TheNeopreneJunebug]

I also remember Tina Turner sticking Roger Daltrey in an iron maiden full of hypodermic needles, used to give me nightmares.

[rockdude1973]

This scene was eight years before Videodrome came out.

[lavieenrose2]

Crazyness.

[SandyParks]

This part kind of confused me for a while, but it's about indulgence/overindulgence. She was "medicating" herself with booze to not think of what was happening to Tommy or her greed of living the high life while Tommy was still "imprisioned" in his stupor.

[lalaindahouse]

what is going on in this scene? i don't quite remember this from either the original and musical soundtrack.

[rachsox]

i remember watching this scene when i was like 5 and wondering "what is going on???"

[ZorraTheExplora]

I remember watching this when I was like 16 and being like "what is going on???"

haha

[rachsox]

well im 14 now so haha

[rockdude1973]

Imagine the cleaning bill.

[Hollywoodsteve]

This is my favorite dream sequence in the history of the movies. Such a classic!

[BusterMudd]

I have a dream where I'm that cylindrical pillow. Regularly.

[mattratt512]

please see below.

[classictvguru70]

please explain.......

[billyguns2]

I have all white sheets and comforters, oh no!

[mattratt512]

i had a dream like this one time.

[scotpens]

You dreamt you were Ann-Margret?

[mattratt512]

no, i had a dream simler to the video. i wasn't Ann Margret but stuff was coming out of the t.v.

[Robubie]

yea i had a dream where my tv displayed images so fast it was as if they were moving. crazy eh?

[senorvolasco]

that's what TVs do, isn't it?

[rsmko]

simler

[mattratt512]

this just gets better with age.

[negligiblepond]

In that string vest she's a dead ringer for Rab C. Nesbit.

[anarchistyes]

oh...my...Goodness.

[jdogtulsa]

this is just weird

[sserpent21]

Wow. It's all I have to say. That nice clean room was destroyed by that possessed TV

[adr1701]

After all these many years ... this is the ONLY scene I remember from the movie! Is is any wonder I have always been in love with this woman?

[bootpig1]

The greates single film of all time! One glitch in this sequence: Ever notice how the hot dog pillow is covered, then, in the next shot, the end is partly clean? Glaringly bad cut, though I do consider editor Stuart Baird a fucking genius. A-M never looked so great.

[almadora]

yes, yes! i saw this movie when i was five and i remember turning to my twin sister and saying something to the effect of, "...that pillow can't be the same one..." or something like that.

[Mikemaniax]

For the sake of every man, I hope that all of the members of The Who, Ken Russell, and everybody else on set gang-banged Ann Margaret.

[scotpens]

That probably didn't happen, but there's a famous story about the wrap party on "Bye Bye Birdie" which ends with actress Maureen Stapleton saying, "I guess I'm the only one here who doesn't want to fuck Ann-Margret!" Google it if you haven't already heard it.

[mikey42]

Not likely. A-M has been madly in love with Roger Smith for now 40 years, in sickness and in health. A rarity in that messed up town.

[Mikemaniax]

I know that, but I'm just repeating something that my brother said while we were watching Tommy and this scene came up. I just posted it on here for comedic effect.

[dancingal]

with all the substances, and big phallic pillows, my favorite part is still at the very end, after its all over, when the room is clean again, and she;s just twisting and writhing around on that shag carpet. So, so incredibly sexy!

[VIDEOFREAK076]

I never get tired of watching this scene.

[saidakhu]

Some days you just need to watch this sequence. Thankyou so very much!
