Ken Russell followed up "Tommy" with this audaciously over-the-top "biography" of Franz Liszt (Roger Daltrey), portraying the 19th-century composer as a groupie-hunted rock god locked in a surreal rivalry with Richard Wagner (Paul Nicholas). Ringo Starr, Nell Campbell, Imogen Claire, and Rick Wakeman (who provided the score) also star. 105 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
