Fiddler's Journey to the Big Screen

The fall of 2021 commemorated the 50th anniversary of Fiddler on the Roof, which Pauline Kael (The New Yorker) described as "the most potent cinema musical ever made." Jeff Goldblum narrates FIDDLER'S JOURNEY TO THE BIG SCREEN. Recreates the forgotten realm of Jewish life in Tsarist Russia and reimagines the beloved stage play as a wide-screen epic. Using behind-the-scenes footage and never-before-seen stills, as well as original interviews with Jewison, Topol (Tevye), composer John Williams, production designer Robert F. Boyle, film critic Kenneth Turan, lyricist Sheldon Harnick, and actresses Rosalind Harris, Michele Marsh, and Neva Small (Tevye's daughters), Oscar-nominated filmmaker Daniel Raim places us in the director's chair and The video examines how the making of Fiddler enriched Jewison as an artist and revitalized his spirit.
