Polite Feyzo (Kibar Feyzo) (translated)
Atıf Yılmaz directed the 1978 Turkish comedy Kibar Feyzo ("Feyzo, the Polite One") from a screenplay by İhsan Yüce, and Arzu Film produced it. Adapted from Osman Şahin, it opened on November 1, 1978, and runs about 82 minutes. Treating the landlord system through black humor, it puts class conflict at its center, mocks anti-communist measures and is counted among the cult films of Turkish cinema.
The story begins when Feyzo (Kemal Sunal), back from military service, decides to ask for Gülo (Müjde Ar), the woman he has loved for years. Gülo is the daughter of the village landlord Maho Ağa (Şener Şen), who will give her to the highest bride-price bidder. The rival suitor is Bilo (İlyas Salman). Feyzo wins the girl by various tactics and pays half the price at once, with promissory notes for the rest; if he cannot pay them, the landlord will take his daughter back. Frightened, Feyzo moves to the big city to raise the money, and the civilised life he sees there changes him. The cast also includes Adile Naşit (Sakine), İhsan Yüce (Hacı Hüso) and Erdal Özyağcılar (Zülfo).
Nahit Ataman produced; the music is by Cahit Berkay and Ahmet Yamacı. Its pointed social references reportedly brought it censorship for a long time after release.
