Forty years after Quadrophenia first hit the world's cinema
screens, its influence on popular culture can still be felt today.
Following Jimmy the Mod in his search for identity against the
backdrop of the May Bank Holiday riots of the 1960s, the film –
based on the classic album by The Who – is widely regards as the
finest example of a British “youth movie”. And, as the
generation that saw it first time around now have teenagers of
their own, Quadrophenia has become a glorious benchmark for their
own youthful excesses, hopes, dreams and nostalgia. Illustrated
throughout with behind-the-scenes photographs, and containing
interviews and contributions from principal cast members, director
Franc Roddam, producer Bill Curbishley, scriptwriter Martin
Stellman and others involved in the creation of Quadrophenia, this
is the definitive account of the making of Britain's greatest youth
movie.
