About this movie

In this film version of the stage musical, based on the stories of Sholom Aleichem, Tevye the Milkman is a Jewish peasant in pre-Revolutionary Russia trying to support his family and maintain his Jewish tradition under a Czar that would like to run his people out of town. Tremendous songs and memorable dance sequences make this film a true classic.

Ratings and reviews

This is a must see no matter what your faith. Also was lucky enough to see it on Broadway starring Edward Molina 2nd row center continues to stand test of time.

I will never not love this movie. I love it so much I'll ignore basic rules of grammar. This movie has humor, drama, romance and more heart than the law allows.

At my high school they did this musical. I was a russian dancer, even though I couldnt dance. But it was lots of fun. The movie is a classic and has a wide range of enjoyable music like matchmaker, to life, and sunrise sunset. Oh and most important of all... Tradition!!
