I just watched Fiddler on the Roof last night.

It’s timeless. A lot of the scenes still hit me right in the gut.

The play was based on the short stories of Shalom Aleichem, long ago translated into English. He did a whole series of Tevye stories. There’s also a novel written by Tzvi Fishman, Tevye in the Promised Land, which takes up where the movie leaves off, and has him and his extended family moving to the Holy Land. Chaim Topol praised Fishman’s effort and knowledge of the character.

Fiddler is worthy of a 4K Restoration with an isolated soundtrack...
