Ann Margret in Tommy (what about the boy?)

Ann-Margret, Oliver Reed and Robert Powell in the key scene from Ken Russel's film of The Who's rock opera "Tommy".

Tommy's biological father, long thought dead, and unaware his wife has happily re-married, suddenly reappears and is accidentally murdered in the presence of Tommy, who is then so well "convinced" that he didn't see or hear a thing and must not say a word that he actually goes blind, deaf and dumb; effectively going autistic.

Now that's persuasion, LOL!

It all gets silly,(with who can sing, where's the plot} Damn it's The Who for a start and; ok I realise as professional musician myself, there may be some extremely wonky singing but The Who and Ann Magret realy rocked it.

@xryan11 to cover up the plot hole. Sally cant marry a rock musician if rock music didnt exist yet and pinball didnt exist either

@MaggieRose1994 Wrong. He was so traumatized by the experience that he actually responded as if he were deaf, dumb, and blind, but it was all pyscho-samatic.
