Tommy the Movie: Hype-Hype-Hype-Hooray?
Ed Jones, Melody Maker, 22 March 1975
"TOMMY IS THE GREATEST WORK OF ART the 20th century has produced." So says Ken Russell. He should know: he's just directed the film of it. Unbiased observers may well disagree, but the carefully-orchestrated programme of promotion and marketing which comes to a climax on March 26, when the film has its British premiere, will at least ensure that few are unaware of its existence.
