This is a typical film from Turkey's Yesilcam period. A lot of foreign movies were remade as Turkish movies which is not technically a problem. But what is a problem is that the original films and writers were never given credit. This film was "written" by Nejat Saydam in 1969 a few years after Sound of Music came out. This film takes place in Turkey in the modern era so there is no World War II and therefore no Nazis to escape from. The songs from Sound of Music, specifically Do, Re, Me, have been rewritten in Turkish. Also typical to Yesilcam films, this film is very dated and quite corny. But it's this corniness and datedness that make Yesilcam films so endearing to Turkish audiences. For anyone outside of Turkey, there's nothing really in this film worth seeing. The songs are performed and staged much better in Sound of Music, which also has a much deeper story. The acting here is campy and amateur. I would recommend this for those curious in Turkish remakes of Hollywood films.
