טביה 1939 - סרטו של מוריס שווארץ

טביה החולב (טעוויע דער מילכיקער) הוא גיבורו של רומן מאת הסופר שלום עליכם שנכתב ופורסם בהמשכים, הפרק הראשון שלו נכתב בשנת 1894
הרומן פרוס על גבי כמה שנים בסוף המאה התשע-עשרה ותחילת המאה העשרים והמרחב בו הוא מתקיים הוא תחום המושב ברוסיה, האזור בו חיו אז יהודי האימפריה. הרומן מתאר מציאות היסטורית עמוסת תהפוכות, שבה נאלצו יהודים רבים לנטוש את בתיהם וכפריהם בעקבות הפוגרומים והגירוש, ולהגר למרחקים. רובם יצאו לאמריקה ולארצות אחרות באירופה

I'm not Jewish but my childhood friends, who are still my friends to this day, and who text my multiple times daily, are Jewish. They are responsible for my world and political views. They introduced me to my taste in music and cinema. They raised me. Because of this, and because I am a father, I was very moved by this story. The acting by father, mother and daughters was superb. I felt their pain and aguish, but I hoped for reconciliation at the end and was happy to see it.

They are responsible for your worldview because they are your friends or because they are Jewish?

As a Jew, I personally prefer this version than the Fiddler On the Roof's ending.

[@EllenAppelbaum]

Completely agree

[@sharonpolikoff7282]

Loved having a chance to see this wonderful film again. Can you post Green Fields, Mamele, and Overture to Glory?

I think they provided this ending for the time when Jews were experiencing Anti-Semitism and to give a conclusion to the ambiguous ending to Sholom Aleichem's story.
It wasn't until the story was adapted into a Broadway musical in 1964 known as Fiddler on the Roof that Chava's ending was changed to her and Fyedka leaving in response to Pogrom

[@TheStockwell]

Aleichem, himself, wrote a revised ending to the story. In it, Chava left her Russian husband and returns home. As to whether tavia accepts her back the story ends ambiguously. From an article from Forward:
"Before the family leaves, Tevye sees Chava again, and is consumed by both love and rage; Chava is his child, after all, but she’s also abandoned them, missing births and deaths and years of their lives.
The story ends without him quite saying whether he forgives her - instead, he asks the reader what they would do in his place."

Well remember, that times had changed considerably in the time period from 1939 to 1964.
1939 audiences wanted to hear an ending which accentuated the cohesiveness of the Jewish community and their commitment to maintaining all their traditions, especially resisting intermarriage at all costs. It was a good ending for a Jewish audience in 1939.
By 1964 and beyond, there is a lot more interaction and intermarriage between Jews and Christians, especially in America. The 1964 ending was more conciliatory and was, sentimentally at least, what a good portion of the viewing audience wanted to hear and it fit the times better. More so called Gentiles found the movie more appealing thusly. So, the 1964 version is more American rather than. Jewish alone. I'm an Orthodox Christian myself and this is just my perspective.

Does anyone know that Pual Newman was in Yiddish theater?

[@lewschoen]

No, he never participated in the Yiddish theater. Herschel Bernardi a contemporary of Newman was involved in both the Yiddish theater and cinema as a child.

Where was this filmed?

[@jacobyoung8013]

According to Wikipedia it was filmed in studios in NYC and on a farm on Long Island

Motel the tailor died?

[@webaah6070]

Indeed, it's stated in the books that he gets sick with some coughing disease that, despite the tried treatments, eventually kills him. That's when Tzeitel (written as Tsaytl) comes back to Tevye's house with their kids. Afaik there was no trouble in their wedding celebration, the whole eviction thing happens years later
Needless to say, the musical and the film are waaay kinder to Tzeitel and Motel, and give hope that they will have a good life, provided they don't end up staying in Poland untill WWII
