Yes....To find this in Mexico is rare indeed. A movie about a jewish family. My second mother introduced me to this movie when I was a kid in 1978. We bought the record and sang it around the house whenever I visited her. Oh how I cherish those times.
I am sure all of us have sang If I were a rich man at one time or another. Topol does a great job as Tevye. Wifey and I although being of two separate cultures could really appreciate the film. The prejudices that they experienced. Being a white american guy in Saltillo, I get weird looks everyday.
I am so glad we do not live in those times anymore. Where matchmaking was common. My wife and I chose each other. We didn't have to learn to love, we have done so throughout our time together. I highly recommend this movie! Watch it with a loved one if ya can.
My family sings songs from this movie sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI find myself doing it in our empty cafe before we open!
DeleteI have a deep love for this film.
ReplyDeleteMe too!
DeleteIt's one of my favorite musicals. The woman in charge of the actors at the Haunted Hay Ride I work at was singing "match maker" on Saturday because two of the employees have been dating during the off season after being on the same scene last year.
