Fifty years after the life-affirming tale of Tevye the milkman leaped from stage to screen, the beloved movie’s complete “making-of” odyssey is now told. Narrated by Jeff Goldblum, this engrossing insider account captures the humor and drama of director Norman Jewison’s quest to recreate the lost world of Jewish life in Tsarist Russia and re-envision the beloved stage hit as a wide-screen epic. Using never-before-seen stills as well as original interviews, the film explores how the experience of making Fiddler deepened Jewison as an artist and revived his soul.
