A discussion about an arranged marriage goes off the rails when the potential groom is talking about the daughter, and the father is talking about selling a cow.

The three oldest daughters are seen getting dressed for dinner while singing the second part of the match maker song. Their under garments cover as much as a tank top and long shorts with socks.

No real violence occurs in the film, but many intense moments.

Just before the end of the first half, a pogram is held against the Jewish village. The scene is not graphic or too violent. They first stop a wedding by pushing over tables, ripping up table cloths, and scaring people away. The only violence that happens is when a man is hit on the head by a candlestick. Then, the chaos ends as the constable stops the destruction from going any further.

Moments later, we see the rest of the pogram with a wagon being set on fire, windows smashed, and property destroyed. This lasts about 20 seconds and is more intense than violent.

Russian soldiers break up a protest by drawing their swords and attacking the crowd. No one is killed or seriously injured, but hit with the sword like a club.

A Russian inspector refers to Jews as "Christ Killers."

Other minor drinking, not to excess.

There is a lot of drinking in a bar scene. At least a couple of men appear drunk. The protagonist has quite a hangover the next day.

When Russian soldiers attack a group a protesters, we see many of them hit with swords. No one dies, but some are knocked out.

When Tevye looses his temper he often shouts and yells, which could be frighting for younger audiences, and even some adults, as it sometimes comes as a surprise.

There is a somewhat emotional parting between Tevye and Hodel, as she leaves to be with her fiancé imprisoned in Siberia.

There is a dream sequence that takes place in a graveyard. All of the departed pop out of graves, but are not evil or menacing. The whole sequence is in song. It is so comically over-the-top, that it will not be scary for most.

This film deals with subject of antisemitism in Czarist Russia. The pogram scene is shocking, as soldiers attack the Jewish half of a village.
