Yiddle With His Fiddle

This is the joyful folk comedy about a man and his daughter who, penniless, decide to become travelling musicians. The daughter disguises herself as a boy to relieve her father’s anxiety about unforeseeable problems that could befall a young woman “out in the world.” Shot on location in a Shtetl near Warsaw, with real life residents as extras, Yiddle captures the vitality of small-town Jewish life. It is the most commercially successful Yiddish musical.
