How I miss the Turkey of the late seventies :))
8 June 2006 | by (Bursa, Turkey) – See all my reviews

Ünal Gürel as 'Gardrop Fuat' was at his best, he was the ultimate Turkish tough man ('kabadayi'). The scene at the coach with the bucket of yogurt was legendary - I still laugh to this day when watching it! There are many scenes that will bring you tears of laughter. The film is typically about Sakar Sakir who goes to Istanbul to inherit a small fortune - 'Sakar' in Turkish means clumsy, butter fingered or good for nothing. Basically whatever he touches is doomed and in this case he meets the unfortunate 'Gardrop Fuat'. Also stars the classic Ali Sen - who typically reminds me of my Grandad - an excellent performance of an old sly Turkish con man and one of my all time favorite actors. There is something about the love-hate partnership between Ünal Gürel and Kemal Sunal that no modern Turkish actors can match - they were one of a kind.

This is one classic Kemal Sunal film that every Turkish person has to watch.
