Fiddler on the roof dvd review.

I suppose fiddler on the roof is just the movie that lovers of the stage play were waiting for and since fiddler is the most popular stage musical in history that s something all right. In 1905 russia tevye the jewish milkman talks with god about wealth struggles with 3 of his daughters over choice of a spouse suffers the indignity of exile during a pogrom. Fiddler on the roof was an instant hit with audiences and it wasn t long before the musical made its way to the silver screen. I know all the songs and have to control myself not to sing outloud.

When i m on a long flight i always bring my dvd. Fiddler on the roof critics consensus a bird may love a fish and musical fans will love this adaptation of fiddler on the roof even if it isn t quite as transcendent as the long running stage. Yes it is an almost 3 hour movie but i never get bored.

Fiddler is the story of tevye topol a jewish man living on the border of the turn of the century tsarist russia. But would it be heresy on my part to suggest that fiddler isn t much as a musical and that director norman jewison has made as good a film as can be made from a story that is quite simply boring.
