CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Tevye (Topol) dreams of fabulous wealth.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Norman Jewison's adaptation of the long-running Broadway musical is set in the Ukranian ghetto village of Anatevka (the film was actually lensed in Yugoslavia). Israeli actor Topol repeats his London stage role as Tevye the milkman, whose equilibrium is constantly being challenged by his poverty, the prejudicial attitudes of non-Jews, and the romantic entanglements of his five daughters. Whenever the weight of the world becomes too much for him, Tevye carries on lengthy conversations with God, who does not answer but is at least more willing to listen than the milkman's remonstrative wife Golde. After arranging a marriage between his oldest daughter Tzeitel and wealthy butcher Lazar Wolf, Tevye is forced to do some quick rearranging when the girl falls in love with poor tailor Motel Kamzoil. Fancying himself more broad-minded than his gentile oppressors, Tevye cannot accept the notion that his other daughter Chava would want to marry Fyedka, a non-Jew. And after shouting the praises of "tradition," Tevye must change his tune-and his entire life-when he and his neighbors are forced out of Anatevka by the Czar's minions. Topol's co-stars include Norma Crane as Golde, Yiddish theater legend Molly Picon as Yente the matchmaker, and Leonard Frey as Motel.

If I were a rich man..
I'd pay Moveclips to turn the volume up.

Ha ha ha ha ha. Yes. 🤣
Hahaha! Indeed!
Rest in peace, Chaim Topol. Your performance will never be forgotten.
No he won’t!
He was truly born to play Tevye
LEGEND
@@bonniemartell9750 yes sadly most of it is not but please say it less rude
@@Goose22cxq I wasn’t being rude. I was replying meaning he won’t be forgotten.
Al Molina brought me here once again . Amazing movie
“Hello Peter”
The power of the sun.. in the the palm of my hand

And the official no way home trailer brought me here
👍
Same here lol
This was my wife's best movie of all time. I can probably count more than 100 time she watched it in our 42-year marriage. She made me watch it with her a couple times and it grew on me! I wanted to tell my wife that he died yesterday but she already knows because she is up there with him in heaven because she passed away 10 months ago. When I saw this on the news that he died I cried so hard. God bless them both.
My condolences for your loss. Your wife had great taste, which speaks well of you I bet! Praying that you find comfort in the things that brought her joy, until you join her and dance together again
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you're doing all right and you've got some kids to keep you happy and your mind off things. Stay strong, friend.
Me too my friend. In Sri Lanka. He was so much loved by us from the 60s n 70s. Am 66 now.
I am so sorry for your lose! God bless all three of you.
I’ve always loved how Tevye talked to God like an old friend. :)
One of the best things about his character.
That's how prayer is supposed to be.
@@trafficking2596 I know, but I mean he does it so out loud and casual
It's a musical done for the audience. Otherwise they'd lock him up for being crazy.
A lot of languages that have a formal and informal pronoun (like French) use the informal pronoun when talking to God or a higher power.
This is one of the greatest moments in cinema. Completely perfect in every way.
Agreed. It even has funny lyrics, i always laugh thinking about a staircase "going nowhere, just for show"
how and why?
@@johnjohnson8669great accent and singing
Rest in peace tevye. You gave one of the greatest performances ever, and will be remembered till the end of time.
3:07 His chants never fail to send chills down my spine. Awesome performance.
Agreed. That momentary shift to the tragic is so convincing.
Agree completely his performance is outstanding & timeless
Sammmmeee
its so cringey though
@@skullkrusher4418 shut up ur opinion is not valid
Came here after watching doc ock sang this in the No Way Home’s trailer
Same
To be fair, Doc Oc only said "Hello, Peter." in the trailer.
@@meidianmedia4469 If I were a rich man, jibijibijibijijibijibijibidum
@@meidianmedia4469 Nah I'm pretty sure he performed the whole song and made peter pass out.
Same
He brings tears to my eyes. I love this song so much. It conveys so much raw and honest emotion.
Beautiful. i enjoy Love Intense.
baritones rarely get the title song, I sing bass so I only get 4 notes. I get the unspoken gratitude of the public, who get to go home and relive the moments of the show. (76 Trombones!) Let me go or let me stay.
If I were a rich man yagagadogadiagdigadiga duh all day long I pity pity bum if I were a wealthy man OI
It makes me laugh and cry both
"WOULD IT SPOILE SOME VAST ETERNAL PLAN??" i feel that brother
Topol defined the role, no one will ever come close
Exacto!
Very true, though I wish I could have heard Sacha Baron Cohen’s rendition of the score to Fiddler, which he used to audition for his part in Sweeney Todd. If there was ever a reboot of this movie, that’s who I’d pick for Tevye
I just came from a video of Zero Mostel singing this, and the commenters said the same thing 😂😂
It's the dynamics he brings to the song... the ebb and flow as he drags and speeds up....he captures the way we daydream
@@twistysnacks I saw Herschel Bernardi as Tevye about forty years ago. Fox Theater in Atlanta, if I remember correctly.
He was no slouch, either.
Why didn't he win an Oscar? He was amazing as Tevye
Gene Hackman won for playing real-life cop Jimmy “Popeye” Doyle in “The French Connection”. It honestly would’ve been a tough call even now.
That same year, Malcolm McDowell wasn’t even nominated for “A Clockwork Orange.” The Academy never gets it 100%.
@@ForceMaximus84 They did the right thing giving it to Hackman
Can agree, Hackman also did deserve the Oscar, but really, not nominating McDowell was a bit criminal.
He was nominated.
1:50-1:57 this entire part just gives me so much serotonin
I cried when he sat down and sang about if he were a rich man, he would have the time to sit down and pray, and to discuss the Holy books with the learned men 7 hours every day (instead of working in the farm) and calling it the sweetest thing of all. 😭 Also, "Would it spoil some vast eternal plan, if I were a wealthy man?" Chills!
but then he goes back to the material worth. Also, you don't need to be rich to pray sooooo
@@kaiyihuang4045 He doesn’t need to be rich to pray, but if he were rich, and not working on the farm all day, he would have the time to pray
@Kaiyi Huang I think it's fitting for his character. He sings joyously and jokingly about spending his wealth frivolously but cries tears of joy when he talks about religion and building a closer relationship with God through study.
What a masterpiece of acting! Out of curiosity, BBC News brought me here today on the sad news of his passing. Although I honestly don't know him before this, I have to say that this is a very difficult act to reproduce. RIP Chaim Topol 💐
R.I.P. Chaim Topol (September 9, 1935 - March 8, 2023).
Every version is cool but none have the pure wickedness this guy has. His deep looney tunes voice is perfection
He AND Zero Mostel
Yay, and i still love The One True Christ ALMIGHTY GOD Most High. Beautiful, good, sweet, true, kind, loving, loyal, and forgiving, and just.
Pure wickedness?
@@js1817 I was asking the same thing
@@js1817 I think they meant it as “playfulness”. As in “a wicked sense of humor”.
Every gesture, every move, and every facial expression feel so natural and fitting. The way he uses his eyebrows and the dynamics of his voice, and how his eyes fill up with tears at the end...
All I can say is, Mr. Topol, you are a genius! 👍👍💕
I'm crying. Didn't know this movie existed until today and definitely didn't know Stefani got her song from this
It’s a 50 year old movie where everyone who worked on it is all dead
@@nuffzed2001 lies, not everyone who worked on it are dead
stefani got inspired from an other song that was inspired by this song
@@loveyaleaveya plz explain
@@twistysnacks Google "Rich Girl" by Louchie Lou & Michie One. They adapted If I were a Rich man, then Gwen Stefani took their song and covered it.
RIP Chaim Topol one of his best performance. You will be truly missed
My grandmother, a singer, took me with her to see this when I was 12 years old. This song enchanted me holding my attention for the whole movie. What a man! Rest In Peace.
May he rest firmly in peace. Topol you were one heroic gentleman and a mighty presence on stage and screen.
RIP Topol. You certainly left us all the richer by sharing your talent.
May his memory be a blessing
I think it would be cool to teach a parrot to sing this.
GW Bush?
This is now my life’s ambition!!!! Genius 😂🤣
@@leighirvine 🦜🦜🦜 just think how badly you could screw with your neighbors in the process!
As if I need another reason to do it 😂🤣😂
@@leighirvine LMAO
Best part: "and it won't make one bit of difference if I answer right or wrong - when you're rich, they think you really know"
4:24 that shimmy was immaculate 🤣
Honoured to see him sing this on stage in Manchester years ago. No-one else will do singing this.
Chaim Topol what a legend. Fiddler on the roof is one of my favourite movies. I love if I were a rich man.
Rest in peace, Chaim Topol. Your role is immortal.
The dance he does when he starts to shake it, never fails to crack me up
I love the dust coming off the floorboards as the light shines through when he shuffles.
He absolutely owned this performance.
Rest in Piece, Chaim! A true star and legend that will live on! Thank you for blessing us with Tevye and your amazing performances ❤️
yeh de deh deh yeh de deh deh deh....every time I watch that I get choked up. It is so beautiful & he is so passionate.
1:36 love his dance
RIP Chaim, you were a mensch onscreen and off. Your Tevya will forever touch people's hearts.
RIP Topol, Thanks for sharing your wonderful voice
If I were a rich man,
Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum.
#FiddlerOnTheRoof
Ven ikh bin a rotschild….
@@5610winston yes. This song is based on a short story by shalom achichem. If I were as rich as a Rothschild.
@@marksheiman1538 I recall an interview with Chaim Topol, a devout and modest man from all I've heard, in which he paid tribute to his uncredited costar, the horse. If I remember right, the horse was rescued from a slaughterhouse, and that without training the horse kept pace with him, reacted to him, displayed devotion to him, and that Topol enjoyed visiting with him even after completion of the film.
I don't doubt that, had he won the Oscar, Topol would have credited the horse in his speech as Lee Marvin credited his equine costar in _Cat Ballou._
My Zadie used to sing this all the time God rest his soul he even resembled Topel and sounded like him as well, which is why this scene always probably brings a tear to my eye
dang why does Gwen Stefani sound different here?
😂😂😂😂😂
because he's a rich man and he can sound anyway he wants to😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Deadddd
?
@@shelbyadams5239 Gwen Stefani made a song that was inspired by this one called Rich Girl
Though I’m not Jewish (I’m Christian), this is one of my childhood favorites growing up and still remains my favorite musical to this day. It’s absolutely brilliant and Topol is the goat Tevye. This movie also came out the same year as The French Connection, The Last Picture Show, Nicholas and Alexandra, Klute, Summer of 42 and A Clockwork Orange so strong year for cinema too.
EDIT: Found out he passed away. Rest in peace Chaim Topol. You were and will always be a legend.
Why did you point out your religion?
@@samanthaseaman9632 Stop baiting bruh, you ain't funny 🗿
@King_Fisher Not baiting. Genuinely curious.
I'm Christian too but this is one of my favorites.
@@samanthaseaman9632so out of all the imaginary gods in religions, they wouldn't mistake their beliefs. 😅
Every time on 4:22 I can’t breath the dance is so funny 🤣
Me too. My mom likes his song and dance she makes me laugh. 😂
I need that bit on a looonngggg loop
I heard this song in Spiderman 2 2004 bloopers Alfred molina
Wow... What an incredible and soul-warming performance. Haim Topol Z''L, may your memory be an eternal blessing.
My grandad made me a clockwork house that played this tune for when I was born love you grandad ❤️
R.I.P. Topol. What a performance.
At 4:22 omg 😆 that's my new favorite dance
I watch this in orchestra class and now I'm addicted to the dance😂
Yeah, my fav version of that dance is @ 1:51
Mine to
God, he was incredible. He had been performing it something like five years at this time, probably many hundred individual performances on stage. And to still be able to put such pathos, such pain, such rage, such hope... that the sign of a surpassingly great actor. May his memory be a blessing.
1:50 Ladies and gentlemen, the legendary "Doc Ock Dance" in all its original glory.
Produced the year I was born and still sending chills down my spine, what a voice what a performance.....
Chaim Topol. A wonderful man, actor, and performer. Rest peacefully. You won’t be forgotten 💔
You mean "a blessed memory "
Good times. I love singing this song and dancing as he does.
Did you know the actor was only like 35 years old during filming?
I was 30 back in 1971 and thought that guy was about 45 or 50. Now that I am 78 he still looks to me in his 40 or early 50. He was so handsome and had a deep beautiful voice and a grin in his face very difficult to be obtained by another actor. I loved this performance back then and still listening the music from youtube videos. Tomorrow saturday November 3, 2019 I will go to the Adrianne Arsh Center in Miami to watch Fiddler on the Roof again. I cannot wait to be there. I love it.
Like!?......you need Professor Henry Higgins.
no he was not
he was 49 you idiot !
The film came out in 1971, probably filmed in 1970. Topol was born in 1935.
He was 35 years old.
I love this. I have watched it all my life. Tried to recreate topol's dance on many occasions lol. Its weird how times change though and I now would consider topol's character as quite rich as he owns land, horses and a beautiful barn.
My grandpa would do the dance and sing along..memories of easier times
Rest in Peace Topol.And thank you.
RIP Chaim Topol, may your memory forever be a blessing and an inspiration.
I paid $120 for two tickets in 1999 to see the play-I didn't pay enough! It was an absolutely mesmerizing performance by all! The staging of the various scenes was so professional. I saw the movie when it came out in 1971, and was prepared to be critical of the staged version-but was floored by the performances of all. Bravo!
That's $193.90 in adjusted US dollars today.
RIP Chaim Topol! Used to sing this when I worked at UPS loading trucks!!
It's delightful really. Daydreaming nice things 'til the very end when he's brought back to reality by stepping in something less pleasant. From an era filled with more charm, values and innocence.
He should have won the Oscar hands down. Perfection!
4:23 look at the subtitles for “yubba dubudubudu dum”
Janel Culver DAMMIT DAMMIT
LOL
dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
BAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
this song would be scary if Doc Ock sings it
In the 1980's as a little child in primary school, our teacher Mrs Lempert (and one of the best teachers i ever had), put this on for us during one assembly, and i remember it even to this day. We used to emulate this song in the playground :D RIP Mr Topol
Rest in Peace
Topol
One of the Greatest Performances in Cinema
If I were a rich man I'd buy a hearing aid to listen to this clip.
Rest In Peace Topol. Such an underrated legend
Has a child I loved this, because of this man. Rest in peace you beautiful person. Miss you so much.
Everytime I hear this song, I instantly think of this. Incomparable.
RIP Chaim Topol
Damn Doc Ock and his robotic tentacle arms! 😅
I am here after watching spiderman trailer... You know what I mean 🤣
YES😂
Weird he' passed away today and I thought he was gone decade's ago ,tough what a great movie. The best cast.
Rest in peace!! You brought a lot of joy.
Best performance of this song ever
I love the bit where he just starts sperging out and shakes his arms/torso like a mad man 😂
RIP Topol.
I'm upset that I only just learned of this clip today. That man full send slayed that performance!
He died a few months ago at the age of 87, but I giggled myself stupid at the thought of someone explaining to him what your comment meant.
RIP a rich man in the ways that count
FIDDLER ON THE ROOF. What a great title. I gotta watch this again.
Brilliant. RIP Topol.
Chaim Topol - may his memory be a blessing
That music would be in my head all day
If I were a rich man lyrics:
[TEVYE]
(spoken)
Oh Lord, you made many, many poor people. I realize, of course, that it's no shame to be poor, but it's no great honor either. So, what would have been so terrible if I had a small fortune?
If I were a rich man
Ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum
If I were a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work hard
Ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum
If I were a biddy biddy rich
Idle-diddle-didle-didle man
I'd build a big tall house with rooms by the dozen
Right in the middle of the town
A fine tin roof with real wooden floors below
There would be one long staircase just going up
And one even longer coming down
And one more leading nowhere, just for show
I'd fill my yard with chicks and turkeys and geese and ducks
For the town to see and hear
Squawking just as noisly as they can
And each loud *bird noises*
Would land like a trumpet on the ear
As if to say "Here lives a wealthy man"
Oy, If I were a rich man
Ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum
If I were a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work hard
Ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum
If I were a biddy biddy rich
Idle-diddle-didle-didle man
I see my wife, my Golde, looking like a rich man's wife
With a proper double-chin
Supervising meals to her heart's delight
I see her putting on airs and strutting like a peacock
Oy, what a happy mood she's in
Screaming at the servants, day and night
*Screaming*
The most important men in town would come to fawn on me
They would ask me to advise them
Like a Solomon the Wise
"If you please, Reb Tevye..."
"Pardon me, Reb Tevye..."
Posing problems that would cross a rabbi's eyes
Ya-da-dee-da-da, Ya-da-dee-da
And it won't make one bit of difference if I answer right or wrong
When you're rich, they think you really know
Oscar win for John Williams for best music, scoring adaptation and original song score.
RIP Topol. When I heard about his death I immediately played this video in his memory
Rest in peace, Chaim Topol. Such a great performance. There are no words to express this unbelievable performance on Fiddler on the Roof. You can never get tired seeing this performance. You can feel Chaim Topol performance.❤
Great scene/song. Makes me want to go to the store and buy some lottery tickets. I wonder what the animals were thinking when they rehearsed the song probably for some time to get the lyrics and blocking down pat. The first few times they were probably like WTF???
My dad's favorite movie, while I liked it I grew tired of it as I got older, now it's a great memory of him.
A benchmark piece of musical cinema; truly faultless, truly epic
My kids have grown up listening to this song and movie. I wanted to see him in this before he retired and didn't get a chance. It is something I shared with my kids and have great memories of me and my boys singing it in the car. Love the song and the movie.
This never gets old
3:07 the original woah
LMAO
omggggg his timbre is richer than elon musk will ever be
Rip Chien Topal. Was fantastic in James Bond. And this of course.
Doctor Ock vibin to this
I loved watching this as a kid and I just love this song and his performance. His voice and this musical is a favorite of mine. R.I.P Topol. You’re truly a very very Rich Man!
Rest In Peace Chaim! 💔🥺🙏🏼✌🏼
I was about 27 when this movie hit the cinema,s and loved the whole movie. Can anyone shed any light on who this performer is ?
