| Movie Haiku: | TEVYE is currently the only Yiddish language film including in the Library of Congress’s National Film Registry. Cinephiles should adjust their expectations; while relatively primitive cinematically, TEVYE’s extraordinary as a recorded play. Loosely-based on two of Sholem Aleichem’s eight TEVYE THE DAIRYMAN stories, TEVYE focuses on Chava’s marriage to Fyedka.***** For more, see the “Columns” section for Jan’s WJD review.
