People seem to either love or hate the film adaptation of The Who’s Tommy, but you can consider us in the former. Roger Daltrey gives a brilliant performance as the deaf, dumb and blind kid who sure plays a mean pinball; and we love Elton John’s turn as the Wizard. And, hey, at least this flick isn’t as bad as the film version of Quadrophenia.
