Tevye is a poor Jewish milkman with five unmarried daughters to support in a village in Czarist Russia. With a sharp tongued wife at home and growing anti-Semitism in the village, Tevye talks to God about his troubles. His people's traditions keep him strong when his existence is as precariously balanced as a fiddler on the roof.
DVD ; widescreen ; Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack ; Region 1.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

tradition submitted by ashaddava on July 15, 2013, 4:50pm a classic wonderful sing-a-long musical for young and old to enjoy again and again...

Accessible (and happier) version of Tevye submitted by dumusicgirl on August 2, 2013, 2:48pm This is a classic musical that allows non-Yiddish speakers to learn a little about the world Sholom Aleichem created in his books. Much happier and shorter than the books!

Fiddler on the Roof submitted by SBNB on June 19, 2022, 1:40pm I watched it because it's famous, but I was mostly bored with it. A couple memorable songs.

Incredible Musical submitted by MikkiMoscara on June 9, 2023, 3:19pm The music is icon, the acting and singing are superb, and the whole movie is moving. My favorite musical of all time.
