King of Trouble (Belanın Kralı) (translated)

Movie · 1971 · 5 people

Released in cinemas on 1 November 1971, Belanın Kralı (King of Trouble) is a Yeşilçam adventure comedy with a strong streak of action. Yılmaz Atadeniz directed from a screenplay by Melih Gülgen. Shot in colour and running 76 minutes, it builds its story from brawls, clashes, a robbery and banditry. The title character, Bela, is played by İrfan Atasoy, who also produced the picture.

Opposite Atasoy, Ahmet Danyal Topatan plays Beytullah Bey, Hulusi Kentmen is Seyfullah Bey, Feri Cansel is Sevda and Behçet Nacar plays Behçet. Further down the large cast are Sami Hazinses as Ramo, Cevat Kurtuluş as Cafer, Nihat Ziyalan as Orhan and Aynur Akarsu as Behçet's girlfriend; Safiye and Hamiyet Yankı appear under their own names. Zeki Sezer's police chief and a crowd of henchmen round out the familiar world of the period's adventure films.

The film was made under the İrfan Film banner, with Kaya Ererez behind the camera and Osman Bilen editing. As was common in Yeşilçam at the time, the sound was recorded again in the studio after shooting, and voice artists such as Abdurrahman Palay, Kemal Ergüvenç, Agah Hün and Nevin Akkaya dubbed the leading players.

Through different eyes

Action & Thriller Fan Puts pace, tension and set pieces first; little patience for slow drama.

Brawls, clashes, a robbery and banditry: Belanın Kralı ticks every box on the action list. It runs seventy-six minutes, so there's little room for dead scenes. İrfan Atasoy is both the lead and the producer, and watching him take on a crowd of henchmen is pure period-adventure fun. By today's standards the fights may look a bit naive, but the pace holds. Good for anyone after a light adventure.

Yeşilçam Nostalgic A viewer raised on the classics, looking for warm storytelling and strong acting.

Just remembering those big Yeşilçam casts, where Hulusi Kentmen, Sami Hazinses and Zeki Sezer turn up in the same film, warms the heart. Belanın Kralı is a typical adventure comedy of the early seventies: colourful, lively, its hero clear from the start. To be frank, though, this is not one of that period's films with real depth; it leans more on brawls than on story, more on noise than on character. Hearing dubbing masters such as Abdurrahman Palay is a nostalgia of its own. Fine as light entertainment.

Family Viewer Asks whether the whole household can watch it; cares about humour and heart.

An old Yeşilçam adventure comedy; grandparents may well recognise the actors and enjoy it. But there are plenty of brawls, clashes, a robbery and bandits. Even with its comic tone, it may be too rough-and-tumble for small children. Watched with teenagers, with the grandparents telling stories about old films, it can make a nice family evening.
