I haven't seen it in perhaps 30 years, but I recall it as being one of the worst movies ever made (from one of the greatest sources ever created). It's not without its gaudy charms. But the performances are mostly terrible, and the covers by-and-largely inferior to the original music. The visuals are seventies spectacular, though. Ken Russell, baby!
(Kinda reminds me of Alan Parker's The Wall - inferior musically, not a terribly good film, interesting visuals. Methinks making films of rock operas is a fool's errand.)
BUT - the price is right, and maybe the film has mellowed or kitched well with age.
I'm in.
