Ultimate DVD, 03/01/2007, p.113, 5 stars out of 5 -- "A magnificent realization which tugs at all the emotions with skill, artistry and great enthusiasm."

Total Film, 12/01/2003, p.127, "...A real showstopper, with some first-class tunes and a fantastic central performance..."

Product Notes

Ukrainian milkman Tevye clings desperately to the old Jewish traditions while all around him the world changes, day by day. His three daughters marry men he considers more and more unacceptable, and the ruling Russian government's anti-Semitism threatens to drive him from his home. Based on the enormously successful Broadway show with great performances and unforgettable songs. Academy Award Nominations: 8, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor--Topol. Academy Awards: 3, including Best (Adapted) Song Score.
