TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Final film of Norma Crane; she was suffering from breast cancer during production, and died less than 2 years later.

Director Norman Jewison was brought into the project by executives at United Artists who thought he was Jewish. His first words to the executives upon meeting them were, "You know I'm not Jewish, right?"

The "Sunrise, Sunset" scene was not lit by electric light but by hundreds of candles.

The film was a surprise hit in Japan, where its obvious love for crumbling tradition struck a chord with Japanese audiences.

The cart-horse, nicknamed "Shmuel" by the cast, was purchased from a lot destined for a Zagreb glue factory. After production Norman Jewison paid a local farmer to keep him for the rest of his natural life, which was another three years.

Popular Dialogues

"Tevye: As Abraham said, "I am a stranger in a strange land... " Mendel: Moses said that. Tevye: Ah. Well, as King David said, "I am slow of speech, and slow of tongue." Mendel: That was also Moses. Tevye: For a man who was slow of tongue, he talked a lot."

"Perchik: Money is the world's curse. Tevye: May the Lord smite me with it. And may I never recover!"
