TheMovie based on Music/TheWho's ConceptAlbum ''Music/{{Quadrophenia}}''. Directed by Franc Roddam as his first feature film, it's a looser adaptation than that of ''Music/{{Tommy}}'', being a straightforward drama film about teenage angst and gang culture in 1960's Britain instead of a surreal musical. It stars Phil Daniels as the main character Jimmy Cooper, Music/{{Sting}} as important mod Ace Face, Creator/RayWinstone as rocker Kevin and Leslie Ash as Steph, Jimmy's girlfriend. The film spawned a soundtrack album, featuring tracks from the album remixed by the Who's bassist John Entwistle.
