5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Movie / Subtitles Disappointing
This is a great movie! Yes, and you don't have to be Jewish to enjoy this masterpiece. Perfect casting of characters and I love all the songs. Standouts would be: Tradition + If I Were A Rich Man + Matchmaker, Matchmaker + Sunrise, Sunset + Chava Ballet Sequence. To be honest, I had to watch this DVD in 2 parts since "Fiddler On The Roof" runs for about 3 hours. How Chaim TOPOL (although nominated) did not win the Academy Award for Best Actor in 1972 is beyond me. The Academy folks gave this Award to Gene Hackman for his portrayal of Popeye Doyle in "The French Connesction". Trouble is, lots of male actors could play Popeye Doyle, but if you ask me, how many of them could play Reb Tevye??? It takes a boat-load of talent, and TOPOL does a super magnificent job !!! WOW !!! Perhaps if TOPOL were an American actor instead of being from Israel, he would have won the Academy Award in 1972. God knows !!! (forgive the pun, hahaha) I happen to like Gene Hackman, but the Best Actor Award should have gone to TOPOL. / AND... AND... AND...Excellent Movie but Optional English Subtitles (for the deaf and hard of hearing) was totally DISAPPOINTING !!! Who decided to add subtitles for the conversations.... but not the songs??? After all, "Fiddler On The Roof" is known for its tremendous songs . Why not add English Subtitles for these songs too??? / Anyhow, with all that, "Fiddler On The Roof" still stands as one of the BEST MUSICALS of all time. The wedding song "Sunrise, Sunset" has always been my favourite, and these words will stay with me forever: "Sunrise, Sunset...Sunrise, Sunset... Swiftly Fly The Years...One Season Following Another... Laiden With Happiness and Tears." / ps: As a point of interest, the song "When Messiah Comes" was excluded because of the 3 hour movie length. Too bad, because I heard the original sung by Herschel Bernardi (who sang in the Broadway play) and what a terrific song this was. As Mick Jagger would say: "You can't always get what you want." (I'm a big fan of The Rolling Stones too)
5.0 out of 5 stars This DVD plays like a brand-new one.
This used DVD is in excellent condition.Great movie too!
5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT CLASSIC MOVIE
Absolutely LOVE watching this over and over again!
5.0 out of 5 stars A Gorgeous Transfer of an Icon Cinematic Tour-De-Force
There's a certain nostalgia that follows films like this. As a child we're terrified of the dream sequence, amazed by the dance sequences, enraptured by the antics of the protagonist Tevye as he goes about his life and does his very best to be a good man and take care of his family. As adults we're moved by a love that grows with age and have our heartstrings pulled by the loss of family and home. It's a film about changing times and changing values, love, devotion, tradition, and religion. And for a musical, it's HEAVY. Maybe even heavier than West Side Story (no happy endings to be found here!).I used to see this film over and over again as a child on VHS, but it's been a long time. Then I heard that neither my wife nor her best friend had seen this film. Well that just wouldn't do. I grabbed it from the library and showed them the first 20 minutes...which prompted cries that they needed to see the rest when they returned from their trip later that day, even though the film is 3 hours long and would end at midnight!I remember the great acting, the great dialog, the great iconic songs. What I DIDN'T remember (because I had no way of knowing) what the INCREDIBLE cinematography and BEAUTIFUL camerawork. Truly, although this film makes use of soft-focus, the outdoor sets and wide-angles truly shine to make this a HIGHLY watchable film, even after all these years.Yes, the songs are iconic, such that you've heard them even if you havne't seen this film before. And yes, it's a sad, dramatic film and I was worried that my wife would hate how it ends. But the overall quality of the film is so good that my wife wanted told me after watching it that she would watch it again ANY time.As a lover of great cinema, drama, and musicals I call this essential viewing. It's from an age when quality of performances were more important than quality of singing, and cinematography was more important than star power. I think there's something everyone can relate to in this film.The quality of the picture and sound is better than ever and surprisingly good, even on the DVD. But at the low, low price the blu ray is going for it would be a crime to skip it if you're a fan of classic films.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great movie!
One of the many great old movies! Love the show and the music!!
one of the best musicals ever.
Nominated for 8 Academy Awards and winner of 3. Magnificent film adaptation of broadway play. Topol is excellent in his role as Tevye a milkman with 5 daughters. The film starts with him singing Tradition, accompanied by a fiddler on the roof, violin played by Isaac Stern. Also Sunrise Sunset and If I were a Rich Man and do I love you with wife. Orchestration by John Williams, famed for Indianna Jones and Star Wars theme songs. Topol makes a bargain with butcher who is very wealthy for his daughter to marry but she falls in love with a very shy tailor. Great dance sequence in marriage. Also in tavern Russian dancers excellent as is dancers who dance with bottle on hat. Second daughter falls in love with a revolutionary played by Michael Glasser, and third daughter falls in love with non jew and he is violent in saying his daughter will no longer be part of the family. Tragically the entire village must leave on orders from the Russian government and it is sad to see the village packing up and leaving some for America. Excellent music, great cast and wonderful music. Highly recommended.
Fantastisk film

Ich habe diesen Film das erste Mal in Kanada gesehen und völlig begeistert von diesem Musical. Als ich dann in den Geschäften hier danach suchte, fand ich es nirgends. Zum Glück bin ich dann auf Bolo fündig geworden!Dieser Film ist immer wieder schön zu sehen, das Musical ist einmalig! Es bietet nicht nur einen tollen Einblick in das Leben eines kleinen jüdischen Dorfes in Russland während des Weltkrieges, sondern beinhaltet auch wunderschöne musikalische Momente!Für mich volle und ganze 5 Sterne!!!
Awesome Collectors Edition!
This movie is a Classic, but what makes this Blueray version peiceless is the Special Features, with actual footage from the making of Fiddler on location, Directors views, scene comparisons.... all this is a must see for Movie Buffs/Students/Historians of Cinema!Celebrate Life!!!
