"Internationally acclaimed star Topol gives the performance of a lifetime in this uplifting musical that earned eight Academy Award nominations and won three Oscars! Now presented with extraordinary special features, including commentary with director Norman Jewison and never-before-seen featurettes, this Collector's Edition DVD will enchant you from 'sunrise' to 'sunset!' Tevye (Topol) is a poor milkman in czarist Russia, where he provides for five unmarried daughters and a sharp-tongued wife. faced with mounting financial strain and growing anti-Semitism, Tevye strives - like a fiddler on a roof - to maintain balance despite the precarious nature of his situation. Directed by Norman Jewison (Moonstruck), conducted by John Williams and choreographed by Jerome Robbins, this 'stunning, joyful and jubilant' (New York Daily News) musical masterpiece is 'an outstanding accomplishment in every category' (Boxoffice)."--Container.
