"He's a pinball wizard
There has got to be a twist
A pinball wizard's
Got such a supple wrist!"

A boy that witnesses his father being murdered by his stepfather and mother goes deaf, dumb and blind before becoming a pinball wizard and founding a cult.

Yeah, just your average 70s flick.

Welcome to 'Tommy' (1975) directed by Ken Russell! Chosen because the Mixed Bag team were desperate to see Ann-Margret movie that actually utilizes her skills, does Ann-Margret make a meal of her performance or is she just floundering about in some beans? (Google Ann-Margret beans if you want a taste of Tommy's mayhem). We'll be going to The Village soon like we promised but right now, enjoy seeing Tommy, hearing Tommy, touching Tommy?? (It's a lyric).
