This rousing musical, based on the stories of Shalom Aleichem, takes place in pre-revolutionary Russia and centers on the life of Tevye (Topol), a milkman who is trying to keep his family's traditions in place while marrying off his three older daughters. Yet, times are changing and the daughters want to make their own matches, breaking free of many of the constricting customs required of them by Judaism. In the background of these events, Russia is on the brink of revolution and Jews are feeling increasingly unwelcome in their villages. Tevye--who expresses his desire for sameness in the opening number, 'Tradition'--is trying to keep everyone, and everything, together. The movie is strongly allegorical--Tevye represents the common man--but it does it dexterously, and the resulting film is a stunning work of art. The music is excellent (it won Oscars for the scoring and the sound), with plenty of familiar songs such as 'Sunrise, Sunset' and 'If I Were a Rich Man,' which you'll be humming long after the movie is over. Isaac Stern's violin--he provides the music for the fiddler on the roof--is hauntingly beautiful. And despite the serious subject matter, the film is quite comedic in parts; it also well deserves the Oscar it won for cinematography. --Jenny Brown

What a great movie. It has been many years since I've seen it. Now I keep humming the songs. "If I was a rich man" :)
Rating: - Beautiful and inspiring
I'm not a musical lover, but this is an exception and I absolutely love this show. It's a story about a Jewish community in a small Russian village. The main character, Tevye is a milkman, a simple but honorable and a wise man who cares about his family. During the course of the movie his three daughters get married and he struggles to balance tradition and family honor with his daughters wishes and happiness. It's a beautiful and brilliant production.

Excellent movie. Highly entertaining. Perfect quality... Amazon was so easy and the cheapest price.
Rating: - Timeless
This must be the 3rd of 5th format I have had this movie in. I first had it as a Beta fromat movie, the the VHS, I have had it in Laser Disc and now DVD. It is a timeless classic. Its lessons are very applicbale even in today's era. The cinematography is just unbelievable. Now, with the comments by those who were involving in getting the movie to where it is, the stature of the Fiddler is further elevated. A movie that my daughter and I used to watch together. Now we still do.
As I have said, timeless....
