The Mill Horse (Dolap Beygiri) (translated)
Atıf Yılmaz directed Dolap Beygiri, a Turkish film from 1982. It combines comedy, political content and drama, was shot in colour on 35 mm and runs about 90 minutes. Yılmaz co-wrote the screenplay with Suphi Tekniker. Uzman Film made it with Ferit Turgut as producer, and it opened on 1 October 1982. Melih Kibar composed the music and Salih Dikişçi was the cinematographer. It has been called an Atıf Yılmaz classic.
After finishing college, Ali becomes a civil servant but is dismissed for his honesty and his refusal to take bribes. Reassigned to the big city, he moves in with his sister Hacer and her husband Yakup. The harder he tries to serve the public with a sense of sacred duty, the more he upsets those content with the system. Yakup is an opportunist who has taken more than his share of a corrupt order, and he makes Ali's job much harder. Bribery, fraud and decay form the backdrop.
İlyas Salman plays Ali, Şener Şen is Yakup and Ayşen Gruda is Hacer. Şevket Altuğ appears as the manager, Altan Erkekli as a clerk and Ali Yalaz as Rıfkı. As was usual then, some of the actors were dubbed by voice artists, and Acar Film handled the preparation work.
