As a musical look at family, generational and cultural conflict, and faith, Fiddler on the Roof makes a virtue of its quaintness... [Blu-ray]
Topol breathes new life into Joseph Stein, Jerry Bock, and Sheldoon Harnick's musical.
Epic story of Jews during the Russian Revolution.
With each musical number, another integral and eternal aspect of Judaism is pondered, explored, and expressed with passionate flourishes.
Though the acting is good and some of the songs are glorious, this film version of the stage hit leaves much to be desired due to lack of imagination of helmer Norman Jewison and excessive running time (180 minutes).
A lavish musical, too lavish for the subject matter, though.
Touching story with great music.
L'Chaim! Life itself, joyous and tragic, is the subject of the boisterous, comic, heartbreaking vision of Fiddler on the Roof.
Stolid, uncinematic exercise in milking more cash from a nicely scored but mediocre Broadway hit.
