This lavishly produced and critically acclaimed screen adaptation of the international stage sensation tells the life-affirming story of Tevye (Topol), a poor milkman whose love, pride and faith help him face the oppression of turn-of-the century Czarist Ruussia. Nominated for eight 1971 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director (Norman Jewison), and featuring such classic songs as "If I Were A Rich Man", and "Sunrise, Sunset," Fiddler on the Roof is a universal story of hope, love and acceptance - a "stunning, joyful and jubilant" (New York Daily News) musical masterpiece. |
