Pete Townshend's groundbreaking rock opera about childhood trauma and pinball wizardry, brought to the screen as only Ken Russell could imagine it: extravagant, relentlessly busy and a little bit tedious. Hallucinogens might help. Eric Clapton, Tina Turner, Elton John and, of course, the Who are some of the musical artists on hand, and even Jack Nicholson sings a little, but the part you're least likely to forget, with or without the hallucinogens, involves Ann-Margret and an ocean of baked beans.
