Review of Fiddler on the Roof (1971) by Nate W — 07 Sep 2009
"Fiddler on the Roof" was never designed to be a motion picture, and even Norman Jewison's keen cinematic eye can't disguise the stagey-ness of the dialogue, but that's more than compensated for by a boisterous star performance from Topol, who carefully shows us Tevye's pain as his world of tradition slowly dies around him.
The film also boasts seamless integration of studio-recorded soundtrack and production audio, making the most of John Williams' Oscar-winning orchestrations.
