Nominated for eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor (Topol) and Directing (Norman Jewison), Fiddler on the Roof tells the life-affirming story of a poor Jewish milkman whose love, pride and faith help him cope with the challenges of raising a family in czarist Russia.
Topol bellows through pre-Revolution Russia with an infectious verve that leaves you with a warm glow and a tune lodged in your head long after the final frame.
