Late 19th century in Alexandria. Two traditionally rival Turkish families, "Seferoglu"s and "Tellioglu"s are competing for the "Green Valley". The winner will be determined by Daver Bey, who has a beautiful young daughter, Leyla. Both families try to arrange a marriage between a man from their family and Leyla, so that Daver Bey will be inclined to give the green valley to his "relatives". Tellioglus, who are behind in the race, desperately find a final solution: They will fake their idiotic butler, Saban, as the highest ranked Ottoman soldier in Egypt: Tosun Pasha.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

I have watched this movie for more than 20 times. Every time I see it, it really cracks me up. I believe this movie is a timeless classic. You can experience probably the best performances of Sener Sen and Kemal Sunal in this movie. However, it would be unfair not to mention "Sut Kardesler" and "Sabanoglu Saban" which are the movies of same period, with almost the same cast.No doubt, that period was the golden age for "Yesilcam" and Turkish comedies.

The only reason that I wanted to write here is the attack made to movie by the first commenter! He said it is crap and gave a list of movies which are NOT comedy at all! (with out a single funny scene!) And said that these are real Turkish movies. Helloo! Are we talking about a comedy movie or not! If you find this movie than you are looking for a comedy, so you have to judge it by that point of view! The movie is made with a very low budget, but almost all the "onetime-most talented and funniest comedians" acted in it. The story is very simple but do you realize that sometime it needs a genius to create the simplest thing!As I said they have no budget and story line is simple, lacks of directing, yet the act is wonderful and the scenes, wardrope and background details fantastic, it gives a feel of Ottoman Egypt. They keep showing it on Turkish TV all the time and whenever I see it, it kept me focused on it, although I had watched it a 1000 times.By the way, I am a director and script writer who also writes comedies which consists a different style of comedy! So guys honor the people who opened the ways to us! Although they are not "complicated" as we are! (and do not call their work crap!)

it's a real funny film that will guaranteed to make you laugh. an incredible cast and brilliant performances make this film a master piece for Turkish cinema. it's about a poor (and a bit stupid) man who acts as Tosun Pasa who is a strong, rich and famous commander. lucky for the poor man that the people who he tries to deceive have never seen Tosun Pasa before. from then some romance and lots of comedy is waiting for you to watch and have fun. it's not a wonderful story by all means though, but it doesn't mean that the film isn't good. it's a wonderful film that will make you laugh and feel good. definitely 5 out of 5! and if you like this film (you're gonna like it!), then check out "Sut Kardesler" and the series of "Hababam Sinifi".
