Fiddler on the Roof

DVD ; set in Russia during the reign of Nicholas 2nd, Zhar of all the Russias.

This is a terrific musical ; telling the story of how the Russians removed the Jews prior to the 1st Revolution.

The story is told in words , as a movie ; intersperced with songs to move it along.

A very enjoyablelook into the happiness of daily life in Russia prior to the over throw of the Czar.

Revolving around a family with 5 daughters ; we are shown a snap-shot over view of daily farm life.

The musical first appeared on Broadway ; than the movie.

As they goabout life ; the oldest girl marries , the 2nd & 3rd are engaged .

Eventually theCzar sends word that they are to leave the area.

Sad , yet very hopeful. Some of the family stays in Russia others go to America.

The music is fantastic; hits such as " Sunrise, Sunset " ;

title sonf " Fiddler on  the Roof " & " If I Were a Rich Man" , all came from this movie .

Think you will enjoy it as much as our family has.

Also available in vhs.
