"From Your Mouth To Gods' Ears" ~ Walking The Fine Line Between Faith And Family December 4, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
`Fiddler on the Roof' released in '71 has been called by many as a celebration of the Jewish spirit. While that is a correct perception, it's not limited to being simply a "Jewish" experience. This amazing film is a inspiration to all, Jew and non-Jew, serving as a universal affirmation of the inner strength and faith within each and everyone of us. The faith and traditions that make us who we are and help us face the challenges that await in this everchanging, often hostile environment.
For Tevye (Haim Topol), a poor, kind-hearted husband and father of five daughters it's his love for God and family that keeps him strong enough to face the continual trials and tribulations brought about by pressures both within his faith community as well as the greater community-at-large. His spirituality is expressed to all by his devotion and adherence to the faith and traditions of Judaism, which are personified on-screen by a solitary fiddler that only Tevye can see.
This film will make you laugh and it will make you cry as it takes the viewer through the full gamit of human emotions. Thank you Norman Jewison for directing such a beautiful film and thank you Topol for becoming the living embodiment of Tevye, Shalom Aleichem's literary creation.
Excellent movie, but Amazon product description is incorrect September 15, 2007
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
I bought this DVD because the Amazon product description said it starred Theodore Bikel, who played in the Broadway and road show versions of "Fiddler on the Roof" for many years - I had the impression this would be a film of the Broadway show. This is just a repackaging of the excellent 1971 movie, starring Topol. The features of the DVD are identical to those on the DVD I bought several years ago - only the box is different.
The Amazon product description has been changed since I ordered the DVD several weeks ago, but it's still not completely correct. The Amazon description lists the actors as Ina Claire, Brian Coburn, Patience Collier, Norma Crane, Barry Dennen - and doesn't include the star, Topol, in the list. The DVD jacket lists the following in starring roles: Topol, Norma Crane, Leonard Frey, Molly Picon, and Paul Paul Mann, produced and directed by Norman Jewison.
Don't get me wrong - this is an extraordinary movie. Just be aware that it's the movie that stars Topol, so it's not really anything new.
 There Is No Screen Version with Theodore Bikel August 26, 2007

This is simply another redux of Fiddler on the Roof with Chaim Topol, Molly Picon, Norma Crane, Leonard Frey, Paul Michael Glaser, and Rosemary Harris. Theodore Bikel, one of the cherished Tevye's from Broadway. I am a huge fan of Theodore's and, while he would have made an awesome Tevye, there is no screen version of Fiddler, that he was in, that was nominated for any awards. Obviously, Amazon's editors need to do their homework since their editorial on the movie will confuse many.
