- Synopsis:
- An outstanding accomplishment in every way, 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 Tsarist Russia. Nominated eight Academy Awards (1971), including Best Picture and Best Director and featuring such classic songs as "If I Were a Rich Man", "Matchmaker" and "Sunrise, Sunset", 'Fiddler on the Roof' is a universal story of hope, love and acceptance - a musical masterpiece.
