Revision as of 17:34, 2 January 2005 by 85.74.35.220 (talk)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Tevye is the protagonist of Sholom Aleichem's fictional memoir Tevye and his Daughters, about a pious Jewish milkman in Tzarist Russian, and the troubles he has with his daughters (Tevye has six daughters - in the first story there is also mention of a seventh daughter. The six daughters are: Tzeitel, Hodel, Chava, Shprintze, Beilke and Teibel). The story was adapted for film and stage several times, most famously as the Broadway musical and later film Fiddler on the Roof.
Tevye (also known as Tevya and Tevye der Milkhiker) is also the name of a 1939 film adaptation of Sholom Aleichem's story. It stars Maurice Schwartz, Miriam Riselle, Rebecca Weintraub, Paula Lubelski, Leon Liebgold, Vicki Marcus, Betty Marcus and Julius Adler. The movie was adapted by Marcy Klauber and Schwartz from the Sholom Aleichem play based on his own book. Schwartz also directed the film. The production is in the Yiddish language. The film has been deemed "culturally significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry.
