Topol ("Fiddler on the Roof") and a cast of British theatrical aristocracy ground Bertolt Brecht's famous interpretation of the troubled life and anxious times of 17th century physicist and astronomer Galileo Galilei. Under director Joseph Losey, The American Film Theatre's “Galileo” is a personalized and keenly cinematic drama that pits public responsibility against private doubt.
