About Şalvar Bank
Reşit moves from his village to Istanbul with his wife in order to become rich. He goes to the home of his distant relative Selahattin. However, Selahattin's wife does not allow him to stay in their home. Unable to get the help he hoped for from his friend, Reşit will become rich when he least expects it.
Directed by Hulki Saner, Şalvar Bank leans on a strong ensemble — Sadri Alışık, Göksel Kortay, Ergun Köknar — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1986.
