Movie

Tosun Pasha

1976 · 90 min

A breezy, good-natured farce full of mistaken identity and slapstick chaos that coasts on charm and a memorable score.

Tagline: Green Valley is ours!
Overview: 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.
How it feels: Light, absurd, satirical and warm. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Deception, class, family, love
Content: Mild violence and sexual content. No gore or swearing.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
