Documentary
From his childhood in pre-war Vienna, Theodore Bikel was entranced by Sholom Aleichem's stories. Managing to escape Vienna, his grandmother secretly rescued Aleichem's books. So it was natural that as an actor and singer, Bikel became one of the foremost interpreters of Sholom Aleichem's characters, having played Tevye over 2,000 times.
The film features Bikel's performance of stories and songs from his stage shows as well as monologues portraying the most famous milkman in the musical theater history and interviews with Alan Alda, Fyvush Finkel and granddaughter, Bel Kaufman, author of Up the Down Staircase, a writer in her own right.
