With hauntingly lovely songs like "sunrise sunset" "matchmaker" "if I were a rich man" and other great Jewish favorites, this movie will always be one of the very best ever made. I cannot imagine that anyone has yet to see it and I think all libraries should be adequately stocked with many copies of it until some day when some generous soul might offer it on the Internet for global access at reasonable public domain licence acquisition cost to the patrons involved in some well meaning project to reduce cost of access to such monuments of culture as this is to the Jewish peoples. The preservation of romantic ideals amid an atmosphere of retention of old ways of observing boundaries will long be debated as a watershed of sorts for cultures that have been assailed in this respect and in any event referring to those who have evolved away from the traditional and have chosen this path instead as a matter of conscience leaving those others who are equally committed to old ways based on religious conviction which often go to the very core of their belief systems as a sense of personhood for each and everyone involved.Read full review

My wife's family was always good about watching the classics and she had seen this when she was a child. She noticed her sister had bought a copy of it recently and expressed interest in the movie. Siezing the opportunity on e-bay one morning while she was still asleep, I put in a bid for a copy so I could surprise her with it. This is a really good film based on the broadway musical. It is pretty funny although a bit sad in parts to see the Jewish (Russia prior to WW II). It is the story about a family in a small, Jewish town in Russia and the father coping with his daughter's getting married off and the breaking with traditions he hold onto that are being tested by the new ideas of the modern culture of the world around them. My wife has really enjoyed watching it and I didn't mind it so much myself either.Read full review

I watched the movie long time again and like the songs very much. Though I did not have a chance to watch it the second time, I would still recommend this movie.
