Spend Xmas Eve with Laemmle at our annual FIDDLER Sing-along! Based on a Sholem Aleichem short story, Norman Jewison's adaptation of the long-running Broadway musical is set in a Russian village at the beginning of the 20th century. Topol stars as Tevye the milkman, whose equilibrium is constantly being challenged by his poverty, the prejudice of non-Jews, and the romantic entanglements of his daughters.
