Fiddler on the Roof

 Fiddler on the Roof
United Artists
November 3, 1971
Musical, Historical Drama, Historical Comedy
DVD
B+



I saw this movie at least once years ago, as well as in high school a production by a friend's (Catholic) school.  It still holds up remarkably well, which is saying something for a three-hour, almost fifty-year-old movie.  It is funny and moving, balancing tones well.  And, yes, those songs will stick in your head.

This is based on the stageplay, which in turn is based on the stories of Sholom Aleichem.  Norman Jewison directed.
