Featuring a host of music icons other than The Who such as Sir Elton John, Tina Turner, Eric Clapton, as well as big movie stars Oliver Reed, five time golden globe winner Ann-Margaret and Jack Nicholson, appearing a few months before the release of One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest. This film was way ahead of its time upon release and Ken Russell’s production still holds up well today. It’s different, it’s strange, it’s not normal, but what’s normal today? Never mind 45 years ago!

Flashback tells us that her first husband (Robert Powell) was a gallant flier during the second world war who didn't make it through, and so More
