fiddler on the roof is a 1971 american musical comedy-drama film produced and directed by norman jewison .

it is an adaptation of the 1964 broadway musical of the same name , with music composed by jerry bock , lyrics by sheldon harnick , and screenplay by joseph stein .

starring topol , norma crane , leonard frey , molly picon , and paul mann , the film centers on tevye , the father of five daughters , and his attempts to maintain his jewish religious and cultural traditions as outside influences encroach upon the family 's lives .

he must cope both with the strong-willed actions of his three older daughters , who wish to marry for love – each one 's choice of a husband moves further away from the customs of his faith – and with the edict of the tsar that evicts the jews from the town of anatevka .

throughout the film , tevye breaks the fourth wall by talking directly to the audience as well as to god .

in addition to the difficulties of being poor , tevye speaks of the jewish community 's constant fear of harassment from their non-jewish neighbors .

the film was released to critical acclaim and won three academy awards , including best music , scoring adaptation and original song score for arranger-conductor john williams .

it was nominated for several more , including best picture , best actor for topol as tevye , and best supporting actor for frey , who played motel kamzoil the tailor .

both topol and frey had previously performed in stage productions of the musical ; topol as tevye in the london production and frey in a minor part as mendel , the rabbi 's son , on broadway .

returning to the problem of presenting a stage musical on film , there are things about the cinematic version of fiddler on the roof that work , and others and don’t . a stage production always features a certain psychological “distance” , with respect to what is presented . there is a seated audience watching actors on the stage , with a seated orchestra and singing chorus . when the story is transferred to the more realistic and immediate film medium , things are different , and the artifices of the stage seem more conspicuously artificial . on the other hand ( to echo tevye ) , the film audience wants to see the musical they have hear about without alterations . so the filmmaker must insert the orchestra , the chorus singing , and the dances , even when they seem much more intrusive in the cinematic setting . on top of that , there is the question of how far to go depicting the agonies of the pogrom . in this respect there are clear limitations to what can be staged in a theater and for an audience that expects music and dancing on the stage . a film is less limited . for this reason there are elements of the film that are relatively effective ( the “good” ) , and others aspects that don’t deliver ( the “bad” ) .

the drama desks for revivals went to play “a view from the bridge” and musical “she loves me . ” “view” director ivo van hove scored for director of a play , while the musical director honor was shared between john doyle ( “the color purple” ) and bartlett sher ( “fiddler on the roof” ) .

: a fiddler on the roof . sounds crazy , no ? but here , in our little village of anatevka , you might say every one of us is a fiddler on the roof trying to scratch out a pleasant , simple tune without breaking his neck . it isn ' t easy . you may ask ' why do we stay up there if it ' s so dangerous ? ' well , we stay because anatevka is our home . and how do we keep our balance ? that i can tell you in one word : tradition !

the trouble with the wording as current is that it isn ' t until that last line that it is made clear that an actual fiddler is on the stage . " as precarious as the perch of a fiddler on a roof " makes it potentially sound like a nonspecific fiddler is merely alluded to in tevye ' s monologue when in fact a member of the company has to be dressed up and go onstage playing a violin at specific points . to only suddenly make this clear in the last line of the synopsis reads as just . . . wierd .

i wouldn ' t go so far as to advise anyone not to see it . after all , it ' s probably the only “fiddler on the roof” that will ever be filmed . yet it requires its audience to display less in the way of imagination and identification than sheer physical endurance .
