... that the documentary Sholem Aleichem: Laughing in the Darkness includes an appearance from Aleichem's granddaughter, Bel Kaufman, who was 100 years old at the time? The film’s scholarly sources include Sholem Aleichem’s 100-year-old granddaughter, Bel Kaufman (author of “Up the Down Staircase”)
- ALT1:... that the documentary Sholem Aleichem: Laughing in the Darkness, about the author whose work inspired Fiddler on the Roof, is one of a small number of films with a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes? RT link

This is my first DYK review but I think I have understood the process. My assessment:

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall:

I quite like the first hook, since it can't apply to other movies and gives more indication of what this one is about. ALT1 also seems ok to me. Both seem broadly interesting. ~ oulfis 🌸(talk) 01:36, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
