Franz Liszt (Roger Daltrey) is at a party. "Liszt, my dear fellow!" says a fellow composer. "Oh, piss off, Brahms," Liszt sneers, and adds to his companion Richard Wagner (Paul Nicholas): "He's a right wanker." This is the high point of both intellectualism and wit in the film's dialogue. Afterwards, Liszt plays the piano to a throng of screaming t...
In real life, Liszt took up with Princess Carolyne von Sayn-Wittgenstein in 1848. In this film, she is a maniacal dominatrix bat-demon with inverted crosses dangling from her nipples. It's something of a one-sided portrayal. Liszt dons a crinoline and plucks a lyre. Sex-crazed women grab at his skirts. He develops an erection bigger than himself. A...
Wagner gloats that his music will bring forth "a man of iron, to forge the shattered fragments of this century into a nation of steel". He grows fangs, bites Liszt on the neck, sucks his blood, then snogs his daughter Cosima. The real Cosima Liszt left her husband for Wagner, though it didn't happen like this and nobody was a vampire. Liszt and Car...

Wagner was a great composer and a nasty piece of work. He was outspokenly anti-semitic, and it is hardly a mitigating factor that many others in the music world at the time also held these obnoxious views to some degree. Liszt's own feelings about Jewish people, while not so actively hateful, weren't exactly friendly either. Still, Lisztomania goes...
Wagner is squished beneath his own castle. During his funeral, he rises from his swastika-embossed tomb. In case you haven't yet absorbed Ken Russell's silly point that Wagner is Hitler, Wagner is now actually dressed as Hitler. His electric guitar turns into a machine gun and he rampages around the city, killing Jews. It's played for laughs. It do...
Can't think what went wrong with this one. Nineteenth-century composer plus a spaceship, comedy zombie Hitler, Pope Ringo, and a giant penis: it must have sounded so good on paper.
