Fiddler on the Roof (1971)

We have lost a legend today in Chaim Topol, who immortalised Reb Tevye onscreen in Fiddler on the Roof. Zero Mostel originated the role on Broadway, but Norman Jewison was keen to hire someone who did not bring a pre existing persona to the role, and so the role went to Israeli actor Topol. He was a rogue choice - only 30, a role of a man supposed to have adult daughters, and with very little English, but Jewison's casting was inspired. Tevye would become the role of a lifetime for Topol - he would play him onstage more than 3,500 times.

During the famous If I Were a Rich Man scene, he later revealed that he was fighting a horrendous toothache, claiming that he sounded odd because of it. The scene took three days because of the pain. It's still a wonderful scene - take a look below.

L'chaim, sunrise, sunset. May his memory be a blessing.

The truly fine Canadian film director, Mr. Norman Jewison has passed away.

July 21, 1926 - January 20, 2024, he was 97.

My favorite Norman Jewison movies are:

1. The Thomas Crown Affair

2. The Cincinnati Kid

3. In the Heat of the Night

4. Jesus Christ Superstar

5. Fiddler on the Roof

6. Roller Ball

I have to see Hurricane and Moonstruck. (Yes, it's true, I never saw Moonstruck, lol.) The List is subject to change, but probably not.

Honorable mention: The Russians are Coming staring Alan Arkin

Chaim Topol (9.9.1935 - 9.3.2023)

"What kind of advice can I give [young performers]? Someone sent me a quote that persistence wins. I have to disagree with this. It is an important ingredient. I don't think that there are any rules. Be persistent, be talented, work hard, but ninety-five percent is luck - so be lucky!"

Fiddler was the first musical I ever loved and Topol's the first performance I ever heard (I still have the ost in fairly #heavy rotation). the sheer range of emotion and performance he goes through not just in the play but sometimes in one song #i mean If I were a Rich Man is a sort of pop culture behemoth that has a life beyond the play‚ but if you listen to it it's a man #expressing his wants and desires and then redefining them further and further to the realisation that his faith is most important to him #and that really he knows his faith is not predicated on any kind of wealth; and Topol sells every moment‚ the gradual adjustment from #flights of fancy and wild dreams of riches‚ to more modest comforts for his family and loved ones‚ to finally a simple wish to spend less #time working and more in devotion to g-d. it's a beautiful performance by a beautiful performer and one of the true greats of the stage

I stumbled across the end of Fiddler on the Roof last night and even though I only saw the last 25 minutes, it still managed to hook me in, make me cry and move me so deeply.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: this movie is a masterpiece and one of the greatest movie musicals ever made.

The music is incredible...ranging from the fun and energetic To Life (L’Chaim) to the reverence of The Sabbath Prayer and the haunting Anatevka.  And the movie takes it to another level by having John Williams as the film’s orchestrator.  Topol’s performance as Tevye is so iconic, I’m retroactively mad that he didn’t win the Oscar....and of course, the cinematography is unbelievable...shot through a silk stocking to give it that slight sepia tone. 

If you haven’t seen this movie yet, you must add this to your list ASAP.

My dad isn't the biggest fan of musicals but there's one he's always loved and one we bond over: Fiddler on the Roof. It's become "our thing" over the years...so this celebrity death hits pretty damn hard.

Topol will always be our Tevye. He knew how to strike the perfect balance of humor and tragedy and just exuded a comforting presence. I'm gutted, but just like the show says, "Life has a way of confusing us, blessing and bruising us." This is definitely bruising us, but we're also blessed by the fact he was here in the first place

Thank you for everything, Topol

May your memory be a blessing ❤️
