This is not in any way a replication of the superb, fascinating first documentary about the making of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF -- it's an excellent supplement and covers much information necessarily omitted from the first documentary. This documentary was filmed several years later, and with this additional perspective of time, reflects the film's makers' and creators' observations and comments, as they evolved over time. This was, after all, probably going to be their last chance to share their experience and work with us and they did a wonderful, thoughtful job of it. Bless them all!, especially Norman Jewison, Sheldon Harnick, and TOPOL! all of whom were absolutely essential to the perfect production of this most beloved film. I love them all.

This is a Fiddler Fan must. I have been a life-long fan of this film. I was a little more than 10 years old when it was first released. My mother had a music jewelry box that played Sunrise Sunset. (I still have it.) I developed a love of Klezmer music just from the scene where the people parade to the wedding.

Traditions are so very important especially today when everything seems so disposable. The care and love that Norm Jewison gave in the making of this film and the way each of the leads explored their own personal evolutions while doing this film makes this one of thee most important musicals of all time. It's personal and it is reflected in each deliberate choice made in its making. Mazel Tov to the makers of the documentary. We are better for having had Sholem Aleichem, Marc Chagall and Norm Jewison converge to create and inspire this great work.

Great documentary if you like “Fiddler on the Roof.”
Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2022
This film was an absolute treat! I grew up listening to the songs from the stage musical of Fiddler. As much as I loved them, when I eventually saw the feature film, I could tell that something had happened to the musical. A deepening of the original material. An even more profound vision had been realized. This documentary breaks down that journey. How Norman Jewison (not a Jew... who knew?) was, to his own surprise, picked to direct the film version of Fiddler on the Roof. And how he, along with great collaborators like John Williams and Robert Boyle, and an amazing cast, turned that delightful stage version into an even grander film masterpiece. The interviews in the doc are all great, especially of Jewison himself. His recollections of what some people wanted the film to be (Danny Kaye as Tevya? Sinatra?!) vs his own authentic vision are striking. I absolutely loved this film from beginning to end. Now I have to go and watch the film version of Fiddler all over again... with even more appreciation than before!

This is a fascinating and informative documentary. Of course I’ve seen the movie many times, but I’ve also seen a few iterations on Broadway. The most recent was a Yiddish language version, directed by Joel Grey. I can’t say that one is better than the other — there’s plenty of room for different interpretations. I like the intimacy of a stage version, as well as the grandeur of the film. Btw, I once met Molly Picon and got her autograph!
