 In 1975 Tommy was adapted as a film , produced by expatriate Australian entrepreneur Robert Stigwood and directed by British auteur Ken Russell . The movie version starred Daltrey as Tommy , and featured the other members of the Who , plus a supporting cast that included Ann @-@ Margret as Tommy 's mother , Oliver Reed as " the Lover " , with appearances by Elton John , Tina Turner , Eric Clapton , Arthur Brown , and Jack Nicholson . Russell insisted on having a known cast , though Townshend wanted people who could sing the material , and was particularly disappointed at not being allowed to cast Stevie Wonder as the Pinball Wizard . In several cinemas , the film supported a multi @-@ track soundtrack billed as quintaphonic sound , which placed speaker banks in the four quadrants of the house and directly behind the centre of the screen .
