ABOUT THE FILM: Originally based on Sholem Aleichem’s short story “Tevye and His Daughters,” Norman Jewison's adaptation of the long-running Broadway musical is set in a Russian village at the beginning of the twentieth century. Israeli actor Topol repeats his legendary London stage performance as Tevye the milkman, whose equilibrium is constantly being challenged by his poverty, the prejudice of non-Jews, and the romantic entanglements of his five daughters. "I expected charm, wit, sentiment... What I didn't expect was how overwhelmingly real the bravery, warmth, humanity and indomitability of these people would come through in the person of actor Topol in the role of Tevye." ~ Ben Kern, Minneapolis Star Tribune "Topol's tour de force is so overpowering, so skillful both in acting as well as in his rich, vibrant singing and his strength of purpose in dancing, that he'll surely become an international star, if such be his desire." ~ Phil Strassberg, Arizona Republic "As Tevye, the renowned Israeli actor Topol is simply marvelous. Warm, loving, full of life, Topol gives to Sholom Aleichem's character the kind of depth that the stage production was never able to achieve." ~ John Weisman, Detroit Free Press "[Fiddler on the Roof] has been done not only with such artistry but also with such evident love, devotion, integrity and high aspiration that watching it is a kind of duplex pleasure." ~ Charles Champlin, Los Angeles Times "Fiddler on the Roof, stunning, joyful, jubilant and emotion stirring, is an artistic triumph for Norman Jewison." ~ Wanda Hale, New York Daily News
