Tommy is a 1975 British satirical surrealist operetta fantasy drama film written and directed by Ken Russell and based on the Who’s 1969 rock opera album Tommy about a “psychosomatically deaf, mute, and blind” boy who becomes a pinball champion and religious leader.
The film featured a star-studded ensemble cast, including the band members themselves (most notably, lead singer Roger Daltrey, who plays the title role), Ann-Margret, Oliver Reed, Eric Clapton, Tina Turner, Elton John, and Jack Nicholson.

No region blocks.
Maybe I didn’t infer strongly enough the implied “at the time it seemed to be”. I thought the fact I had said I was stoned at the time of watching and had randomly came across it coupled with my statement that I don’t know how it would hold up to a sober rewatch was enough.
Easy, tiger. You were perfectly clear that you were stoned when you’d seen it nor was I implying anything. I’m not sure what I said to receive what reads as an inordinately defensive reply, forgive me if I’m reading it wrong.
I just wanted to say that it’s a silly, fun movie and Ken Russell was a fab director. Cheers.
