Tommy (1975)
Celebrating its 50th Anniversary- Esquire Rewind takes a look back at the 1975 Rock Opera- TOMMY
SYNOPSIS: After seeing his stepfather murder his father during an argument over his mother, young Tommy goes into shock, suddenly becoming psychosomatically deaf, dumb and blind. As a teenager, Tommy stumbles upon a pinball machine and discovers he is a natural prodigy at the game. Fame and fortune follow for Tommy, as he becomes a pinball champion and later the messiah of a religious cult, which views his pinball skills as a miraculous sign of divine intervention.
The Critics Consensus: "Tommy is as erratic and propulsive as a game of pinball, incorporating The Who's songs into an irreverent odyssey with the visual imagination that only director Ken Russell can conjure."DramaPT1H51MPG2025-07-11Oliver Reed
