Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
They want to show us everything, to give us our money's worth. In so doing, they've not just opened up the play, they've let most of the life out of it.

rotten:
Very hard to take with the film sitting up and practically slobbering in its eagerness to prove how loveable it is.
– Tom Milne,

fresh:
Sentimental in a theatrical way, romantic in the oldfashioned way, nostalgic of immigration days, affirmative of human decency, loyalty, bravery and folk humor.

Earthbound but not bad.

The qualities that have kept the Broadway Fiddler running these seven years are in scant supply onscreen.
