adapted to film in 1963. The screenplay was written by Michael Stewart and
Irving Beacher, with music by Charles Strouse and Lee Adams. It was directed by
George Sidney and starred Dick Van Dyke as Albert Peterson, Maureen Stapleton as
Mama Mae Peterson, Janet Leigh as Rosie, Paul Lynde as Mr. MacAfee, Bobby Rydell
as Hugo Peabody, and Ann-Margret as Kim MacAfee. Jesse Pearson played the role
of teen idol Conrad Birdie. Ed Sullivan makes a substantial guest
appearance. The film is credited with making Ann-Margret a superstar during
the mid-1960s, leading to her appearing with the real Elvis Presley in Viva Las
Vegas. The film’s soundtrack was released by RCA Records in 1964.
Fiddler on the Roof is the 1971 film version of the Broadway musical of the

Best Supporting Actor for Leonard Frey, who played Motel the Tailor (both had
originally acted in the musical; Topol as Tevye in the London production and
Frey in a minor part as the rabbi’s son). The decision to cast Topol as Tevye
instead of Zero Mostel was a somewhat controversial one, as the role had
originated with Mostel and he had made it famous.

Pennsylvania Dutch are the descendants of German immigrants who came to
Pennsylvania prior to 1800. According to Don Yoder, a Pennsylvania German
expert and retired University of Pennsylvania professor, the word “Dutch” in

the Dutch were generally regarded as one of several German peoples.

the pipe。而 pipe dream 则用来比喻鸦片上瘾者陷入幻想的那种感觉。大约在 1895 年，pipe
