Extravagant film adaptation of the popular long-running Broadway smash of the same name. "Fiddler on the Roof" is an extraordinary musical chronology of a humble Jewish milkman, Tevye, whose children do the unthinkable and choose their own husbands rather than going along with tradition which says the father gets to pick the hubby. A top-notch musical score closes the deal that "Fiddler on the Roof" is undoubtedly one of the best movie musicals ever made! The producers chose well in picking a virtually unknown but perfect cast. The three hours it takes to view is time well invested.
