Fiddler's Journey to the Big Screen

The New Yorker's Pauline Kael named Fiddler on the Roof "the most powerful movie musical ever made." The Jeff Goldblum-narrated film FIDDLER'S JOURNEY TO THE BIG SCREEN captures the humor and drama of filmmaker Norman Jewison's effort to reconstruct the forgotten realm of Jewish life in Tsarist Russia and re-envision the renowned stage play as a wide-screen epic. Oscar-nominated filmmaker Daniel Raim puts us in the director's chair and in Jewison's heart and mind, using behind-the-scenes footage, never-before-seen stills, and original interviews with Jewison, Topol (Tevye), composer John Williams, production designer Robert F. Boyle, film critic Kenneth Turan, lyricist Sheldon Harnick, and actresses Rosalind Harris, Michele Marsh, and Neva Small (Tevye's daughters). The film shows how making Fiddler enriched Jewison's work and soul.
