Anthony Quinn NEVER played that role ( Zero Mostel portrayed Tvye, in FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, as did Herschel Bernardi, Theodore Bikel, and many, many others in the revivals and the movie )and the the song is “IF I WERE A RICH MAN”; no “WHAT” in that song at all. ;^)
In my mind’s eye, I keep seeing Anthony Quinn, grizzled and middle aged, all dressed up for that role. Oh wait..I just realized I must be recalling when he played in Zorba The Greek. Yes, over 700 performances in that role. Similar story, but different culture and nationality.
