''Quadrophenia'' was revived for a [[Quadrophenia (film)|film version]] in 1979, directed by [[Franc Roddam]]. The film attempted to portray an accurate visual interpretation of Townshend's vision of Jimmy and his surroundings, and included [[Phil Daniels]] as Jimmy and [[Sting (musician)|Sting]] as the Ace Face.{{sfn|Fletcher|1998|p=535}} Unlike the ''Tommy'' film, the music was largely relegated to the background, and was not performed by the cast as in a rock opera. The [[Quadrophenia (soundtrack)|film soundtrack]] included three additional songs written by Townshend, which were [[Kenney Jones]]' first recordings as an official member of the Who.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/kenny-jones-joins-the-who-19781228|title=Kenny Jones Joins The Who|first=Salley|last=Rayl|first2=James|last2=Henke|magazine=Rolling Stone|date=28 December 1978|access-date=25 November 2014|archive-date=28 December 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141228042242/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/kenny-jones-joins-the-who-19781228|url-status=live}}</ref> The film was a commercial and critical success, as it conveniently coincided with the [[mod revival]] movement of the late 1970s.{{sfn|Marsh|1983|p=510}}
