Darling (Canikom) (translated)

Philandering, a seaside holiday and a broken engagement form the backbone of Canikom, a Turkish romantic comedy from 1979. Erler Film made it, Orhan Aksoy directed, and Fuat Özlüer and Erdoğan Tünaş wrote the screenplay together. Türker İnanoğlu produced, Çetin Gürtop handled the photography, and the colour 35 mm feature runs 89 minutes.

Fikret (Cüneyt Arkın) manages a company and is engaged to Serap (Hülya Yiğitalp), the owner's daughter, yet he is an incorrigible flirt. On holiday in Şile, where he has sailed in his own boat, a string of coincidences throws him together with Bahar (Gülşen Bubikoğlu), a model in town for a photo shoot. They quickly fall for each other and plan to marry. Then Serap turns up unannounced to surprise her fiancé, and the plan unravels: Fikret must end the engagement while also convincing Bahar that his feelings are sincere.

In the supporting cast Ali Şen plays Selim, Sami Hazinses Cemil, Mürüvvet Sim Saadet, Şemsi İnkaya Acar, Ekrem Dümer Doktor Sami, Raşit Hazar Erol and Ahmet Turgutlu the butcher Faik, with Nubar Terziyan and Çetin Başaran also appearing. Cüneyt Arkın plays a second character, İzzet, besides Fikret. As was usual in Yeşilçam, many of the voices were dubbed: Toron Karacaoğlu speaks for Arkın, Tijen Par for Yiğitalp.
