Yiddle with His Fiddle (1936) is a celebrated Yiddish musical comedy directed by Joseph Green, who returned to his homeland of Poland from America to helm this project. The film is renowned as the most commercially successful musical in the history of Yiddish cinema, featuring the legendary Molly Picon, a renowned comedienne known for her work in Yiddish theater, vaudeville, and film. The story revolves around a father and daughter who, facing financial hardship, embark on a journey as traveling musicians. To alleviate her father's worries about the dangers a young woman might encounter, the daughter cleverly disguises herself as a boy. Along the way, they team up with another father-son duo, leading to a blend of music, comedy, and romance. Green's original screenplay is enriched by the folksy lyrics of Yiddish poet Itzik Manger and the memorable musical score of Abraham Ellstein. The film also showcases the talents of Leon Leibold, who later starred in notable films like "The Dybbuk" and "Tevye," and Max Bozyk, a character actor known for his exceptional performances. Departing from the studio-bound cinematography of early Yiddish talkies, the film was shot on location, adding a layer of authenticity to the narrative.
