Did they restore the original UA logo from when the film first came out. I believe it is a original Williams composition for this film, as the final chord is exactly the same as the final chord of the film's end title.

Unfortunately that UA logo has never been on any video version of Fiddler. I think it has something to do with a blanket policy of not having any reference to TransAmerica on any of their releases.
The cue sheet, also unfortunately, is not entirely clear in attributing the logo music to Williams, although that chord certainly sounds like the final chord of the End Titles... which one can only hear on the album as the movie only used the first few seconds of it and then tracked the rest with repeated parts of the "Entr'Acte."
The Blu-Ray transfer is exactly the same as the DVD, just in HD obviously. Also never on any video release is the "Intermission" card. The "Entr'Acte" comes in so abruptly it's nearly impossible to pause your player before the downbeat.

Not talking about the freeze frame image with the word "Entr'Acte" on it, but before that - the word "Intermission" in white letters on black (over silence). I'd have to fire up the LD player but I honestly don't ever recall that being on any video release because I've noted it at the 3 or 4 35mm screenings I've been to in recent years.

Where do you see these cue sheets Mike?
Are they available anywhere publically?

After digging out my ancient LD player only to find the disk tray wouldn't open, then digging out my combi LD/DVD player, vacuuming that off, briefly wondering to myself why there wasn't an HDMI output, having my 14-year-old son ask if I was listening to music (because he apparently didn't recall ever having seen an LD before) and then ask if one of the actors in FIDDLER ON THE ROOF was Alan Rickman, I can confirm that the LD did have the Intermission card:

Cool, Jeff! I must not have looked at that version much. Too bad it wasn't carried over to the DVD & Blu-ray.
