Fiddler on the Roof (film) Principal photography was done at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, England. Most of the exterior shots were done in SFR Yugoslaviaâ€”specifically in Mala Gorica, Lekenik, and Zagreb within the Yugoslav constituent republic of Croatia. Though the area was under heavy snow during location scouting in 1969, during the filming the producers had to ship in marble dust to stand in for snow.[7] Three hundred extras conversant in various foreign languages were used, as were flocks of geese and pigs and their handlers.[8] Isaac Stern performed the violin solos.[7]
