Movie Reviews of Fiddler on the Roof (Decades Collection)Movie Review: Fiddling around Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this DVD to show my kids as we have a parody based on the Cthulhu mythos called "A Shoggoth on the roof" I figured the joke songs would make more sense if they had seen the original source material.
I had forgotten how genuinely humorous the play was, and my 13 year old and 17 year old laughed out loud at several points. The nine year old wandered off to read sometime during "Matchamaker, Matchmaker".
The acting is great, the music is wonderful, the scenery fits the story perfectly. I was always amazed that a musical with such a sad ending was so popluar though. I can remember walking out of the theater the first time I saw a production with such an overwhelming sense of depression since I knew that it had been based on things that really had happened.
Summary of Fiddler on the Roof (Decades Collection)"An outstanding accomplishment in every category" (Boxoffice), 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 czarist Russia. Nominated* for eight Academy AwardsÂ(r), 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 acceptancea "stunning, joyful and jubilant" (New York Daily News) musical masterpiece.
