Where to Watch Fiddler on the Roof
- MaxRiderApril 25, 2026Topo is fantastic. His performance as Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof is warm, funny, heartbreaking, and powerful all at the same time. That big voice, that presence, those little shrugs and sighs, he carries the entire movie on his back. Without him the film doesn’t work. He’s the reason it’s still considered a classic fifty years later.
- Krista GloverFebruary 21, 2026I hate musicals but Fiddler on the roof is the exception. The highlight for me is the actor Topol who plays Tevye, he was made for the role. As such I wasn't surprised to find out that he played the role on stage over 3500 times throughout his life. He has an incredible presence on screen. I wish I could of seen him perform live on stage!
- Mister ArnMay 12, 2025One of the best musicals ever made, but it's so much more. It delivers life lessons given by characters that you really care about. On the other hand, there is no other hand.

- Charles LondonMarch 18, 2025Adapted from the now long-lived (non-continuous) Broadway and West End musical. One of my favorite directors, Norman Jewison, brings it to the screen for an enjoyable 3 hours. The wedding scene is an iconic piece of cinema.
