Let the Instruments Play, Let the Girls Dance (Çalsın Sazlar, Oynasın Kızlar) (translated)

Lütfi Ömer Akad directed the 1953 black-and-white Turkish musical comedy Çalsın Sazlar, Oynasın Kızlar. It is also known under the title Oyna Kızım Oyna. Akad wrote the screenplay with Osman Fahir Seden, who also produced it for Kemal Film. The cinematographer was Kriton İlyadis.

The film tells of the comic adventures of three brothers named Kemal, Mehmet and Ahmet. Music and entertainment run through it, and the cast includes performers and groups appearing as themselves, among them the Güler Kardeşler, Gazelhan Sebilci Hüseyin, Radife Erten, Şecaattin Tanyerli, Necdet Koyutürk and the İstanbul Samba Orchestra. Settar Körmükçü plays Ahmet and Bülent Oran plays Bülent, with Neriman Köksal, Nimet Alp, Sadri Karan and Muazzez Arçay also in the cast. A jury scene features Ayhan Işık, Gülistan Güzey, Turan Seyfioğlu and Belgin Doruk as jury members.

The film's production story is an odd detail in Akad's career. Short of money at the time, the director made it to earn the fee for one more directing job. In Akad's own words it was a picture "thrown together in the blink of an eye, made to make money"; shooting took two weeks and the cost was very low. It still did well at the box office.
