Description: The brilliant and poignant musical Fiddler on the Roof astounded audiences and critics when it debuted on Broadway in 1964. This film adaptation, which was nominated for an Academy Award¨, serves to reaffirm the show's stature as one of the greatest musicals ever written. Based on Sholem Aleichem's stories, this fable takes place in the Russian shtetl of Anatevka. It follows a poor milkman named Tevye, who is loud and tender, strong and sentimental. Together with his wife, three daughters, and neighbors, Tevye struggles to preserve tradition in the face of religious persecution. Yet even as the hostile outside world encroaches, there is joy in Anatevka.
