Poor milkman Tevye clings desperately to the old Jewish traditions of his family while all around him the world changes, day by day. His three daughters marry men he considers more and more unacceptable, and anti-Semitism threatens to drive him from his home. His love, pride and faith help him face the oppression of turn-of-the-century czarist Russia.

Hi Rae,
Good capsule review, really sums it up.
I found this movie to be one of the most life-affirming I've ever seen, filled with enchanting music throughout and unforgettable songs; it's one of my favorite of all time.
I agree! It's been a favorite of mine since I was little and I just adore Topol's performance.
