Fiddler on the Roof 1971

[Tommy Tainant]

I watched this last night for the first time in over 40 years.
I watched it as a teenager and thought it was crap back then.
Now I watch it as a Grandfather and I think its a work of genius.

Life can change your perspective on art. Have you ever recised your opinions as you have matyred ?

/—-/ Tommy, I should say I lived in NY and saw the broadway play. The movie was good but didn’t do the play justice.

I liked it at age 15, and I love it now.

In the original story, upon which Fiddler is based, the fourth daughter (in the movie, she has no role other than to be there), drowns herself as a result of a match thwarted by both the boy’s father and Tevya due to a mismatch in wealth. They left it out of the movie (and play) because it was too tragic.

Tevye’s Forgotten Daughter

A new opera recalls a Sholem Aleichem tale that was left out of ‘Fiddler,’ and opens up a world of women’s prayers called ‘tkhines’

I liked it as a kid...but didn't understand it because I wasn't politically aware, nor did I know about life.

Now I like it even more!

I would love to see it on stage.
