The movie is a spitting on all the sacred social relationships, a fiend's snarl at god and man. She renders authority helpless--the doctors, cops, shrinks and priests, guardians of the public health, safety and conscience, she defiles.

Yet often as not he's playing as much of the lead as Townshend; his progressions on "The Real Me," and his work with Keith Moon on "Drowned" were truly stunning. Roger Daltry is a puppet, a helpless dancer. Programmed to march, twirl mike cords and pose with his hands clasped over his head, he's at a consistent loss for something to do.
