Jul 22, 2014 It would be hard to rate a documentary about how the stories that make up one of my favourite movies / musicals with anything less than five stars. I've probably seen the movie Fiddler on the Roof 20 times. I've seen the musical 3 times. I know the stories. I love the stories. So given the opportunity to hear about the author and how he came to these stories was a great thrill. See more Jan 7, 2014 A deep, almost academic, exploration of the ground-breaking Yiddish writer's work. If you enjoy Fiddler on the Roof, you will find this fascinating. See more Mar 12, 2013 A very nice documentary about the man who first wrote the stories of "Tevye the Milkman" which became the basis for the musical "Fiddler on the Roof." The documentary can also serve as an invitation to better appreciate the Romantic movement of the time, which helped produce most of the modern nation states of Europe as well as the modern state of Israel. - http://frdennismoviereviews.blogspot.com/2011/09/sholem-aleichem-laughing-in-darkness.html See more Mar 2, 2012 Not bad. Only because I want to make Fiddler on the Roof a real, living woman and make her the mother to our children. See more Jan 27, 2012 is Sholem Aleichem an anagram for Holmes Michael/Michael Holmes? See more Dec 4, 2011 Very well made. It's very surprising that his children did not know Yiddish. See more Read all reviews
