Pete Townshend acknowledges that Kit Lambert made “many valuable suggestions” during the creation of Tommy

Kit Lambert first met The Who in the mid 1960s while attempting to produce a film on an undiscovered band. Lambert was working with Chris Stamp (brother of actor Terence Stamp) and the pair did indeed create the film and then went on to manager the group (in his autobiography Who I Am, Pete Townshend writes, "That film still exists; Roger [Daltrey] now owns the only remaining copy). Now according to The Hollywood Reporter it appears that Lambert will be the subject of a motion picture, himself. Actor Cary Elwes (The Princess Bride, Saw ) will make his directorial debut on the film, with a script by Pat Gilbert, a former Mojo editor. Producer Orian Williams tells, THR, “Kit Lambert was one of the great engines of creativity and change in the 1960s. He used his wild behavior intelligently, to inspire a fearlessness that pushed The Who and others to break down musical and cultural walls.” Townsend and Daltrey “are on board to contribute biographical details, as well as one kick-ass Who soundtrack that is something of a soundtrack to the ’60s and ’70s.”
