Review of Fiddler on the Roof (1971) by Jenny X — 01 Jul 2009
The film is closely adapted from the original, hugely successful Broadway musical, which was itself derived from a series of short stories entitled Tevye and his Daughters by the Ukranian writer Sholom Aleichem.
Beautifully photographed and buoyed by its exuberant musical numbers; Fiddler On The Roof remains one of the most exquisitely crafted and emotionally satisfying of film musicals ? an upbeat film which reminds us that, however bleak things get, life is still worth living.
