The later film stars two of Turkey’s favorite screen personalities, glamorous leading lady Mujde Ar and funnyman Sener Sen. The two fall in love, much to the dismay of their respective families. The couple’s attempts at finding true happiness is good for several hilarious and touching moments. Arabesk was a huge hit in its country of origin, just as it was intended to be.”Read More »

In the 1920s and early ’30s, he was the popular author of a genre-defining series of novels in which mortal men broke out of their humdrum lives to embark on comic-erotic, supernaturally tinged adventures in the company of an exciting woman (or women). The most popular of these, Topper, was filmed in 1937, three years after Smith’s death.
