THAT’S the opening scene and when I started crying before the movie even began!!!!
I did the same when I went to Hollywood to see Yul Brynner in “The King and I” - at the end I was crying so hard I couldn’t even see him on the stage taking bows!!! I didn’t want it to end...Deborah Kerr “Shall we Dance”??? The best ever!!!!!
Sound of Music, The King and I, and Fiddler on the Roof, are my favorites.
When Fiddler came out in the theaters, my dad took his mom, who emigrated from a village in the Ukraine, and she said it was just like the village she left back home.
My grandmother was not Jewish. She was Ukie. But I guess she thought it was authentic enough.
My wife saw “The King and I” back in the ‘70s on Broadway, with Yul Brynner and Constance Towers. She said that even back then that ticket prices were reasonable: even as a college student on vacation, she could afford to see it.
$17$, and near the stage.
