See this film: Tommy @ the MFA
Take a look at the giant shoes that Elton John wears as the
"Local Lad" singing "Pinball Wizard" in the movie version of Tommy (1975), and you get an idea of
what a loss the death of director Ken Russell last year was to the movie world.
His joyously kitschy and surreal excess nearly upstages the Who's
groundbreaking 1969 rock opera.
