The big screen is the way to see this movie. If you are a human being, You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and feel like you are a friend to everyone in the movie.

Norman Jewison's literal-mindedness actually helps squeeze some of the goo from the material.

Would it be heresy on my part to suggest that Fiddler isn't much as a musical, and that director Norman Jewison has made as good a film as can be made from a story that is quite simply boring?

It still stands up as an upbeat portrait of pre-revolutionary Russia, and will have you whistling If I Were A Rich Man for days.
