Jewish milkman Tevye (Topol) and his wife Golde (Norma Crane) find their world in Russia changing in 1905. Not only is Russia modernizing, but their daughters Hodel (Michele Marsh), Tzeitel (Rosalind Harris), and Chava (Neva Small) are also going against tradition and choosing their own husbands. Tzeitel is in love with poor tailor Motel Kamzoil (Leonard Frey), but Tevye has arranged for her to marry wealthy Lazar Wolf (Paul Mann). Meanwhile, Chava wants to marry Fyedka (Ray Lovelock) who is a not Jewish. While Tevye disapproves of their choices and has tried to arrange more "proper" marriages, he is forced finally to change his way of thinking when the anti-Semitic Czar forces his family and their Jewish neighbors out of their village. The film won three Academy Awards (Best Cinematography, Music, and Sound) and was nominated for five others–including Best Picture, Actor (Topol), Director, and Supporting Actor (Frey).
