Biography
Norwegian dancer/choreographer Tutte Lemkow entered the British film industry as a bit player in the early 1950s. Lemkow went on to stage the dance sequences for such otherwise nonmusical efforts as
The Captain's Paradise (1953) and
Bonjour Tristesse (1958). Most of his screen appearances were confined to eccentric character roles in films like
Ben-Hur (1959),
The Wrong Box (1967), Theatre of Blood (1973) and
Red Sonja (1985). Tutte Lemkow also essayed the non-speaking title role in the 1970 movie version of Fiddler on the Roof. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
