Film: Tevye -- (Tevye the Milkman) (USA, 1939) The beloved musical "Fiddler on the Roof" is based on the stories about Tevye the Milkman. Tevye was the first non-English language film to be named "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the U.S. Library of Congress and selected in 1991 for preservation in the National Film Registry. This classic story is by Sholem Aleichem (the pen name of Solomon Naumovich Rabinovich) acknowledged and celebrated as a leading Yiddish author and playwright in the early 20th century. He was called the Jewish Mark Twain. (When Twain heard the writer called "the Jewish Mark Twain", he replied "Please tell him that I am the American Sholem Aleichem.") It is a wonderful dramatization of the clash between tradition and modernity, parental authority and love, customs and enlightenment -- all foreshadowed by the anti-semitism of rural Ukraine. Several scenes stand out as classically memorable. In Yiddish and restored with new English subtitles and made available by the National Center for Jewish Film. Directed by and starring Maurice Schwartz. 96 minutes http://www.brandeis.edu/jewishfilm/Catalogue/films/tevye.html |
