A grand tradition of song, dance, and musical splendor returns to the screen when FIDDLER ON THE ROOF debuted on Blu-ray April 5^th from MGM Home Entertainment in honor of the 40^th anniversary of the classic film. Nominated for six Academy Awards^® including Best Picture and Best Actor, Fiddler on the Roof is a universal story of hope and acceptance.  Fans will also be able to experience a new 7.1 audio track on the Blu-ray version, bringing the Oscar-winning music to life like never before.

This lavishly produced and critically-acclaimed screen adaptation of the Tony Award^®-winning Broadway sensation tells the life-affirming story of Tevye, a poor but soulful milkman whose love, pride and faith help him face the oppression of turn-of-the-century Czarist Russia. Tevye and his wife Golde  attempt to arrange suitable marriages for their five strong-willed daughters in poignant—and often amusing—moments that celebrate life and love.

FIDDLER ON THE ROOF Blu-ray debut recaptures the performances of such timeless songs as “To Life (L’Chaim),” “Matchmaker, Matchmaker,” “If I Were a Rich Man,” and “Sunrise, Sunset.” The film also stars Academy Award^®-nominee Leonard Frey, Rosalind Harris, and Michael Glaser in hi-def 7.1 audio.
