Was just viewing the "Matchmaker" bit on Youtube last night...Odd how Jewison moved on to "Jesus Christ Superstar" (another fave of mine) directly after this one

I wasn't sure about Topol tbh. Next year is a big one for Norman, his 10th wedding anniversary is coming up.

I think I would call Tevye the 20th century’s great tragic hero; Topol’s performance is commensurately iconic
