Gentlemen for a Day

Gentlemen for a Day (Bulgarian: Господин за един ден, romanized: Gospodin za edin den) is a Bulgarian comedy-drama film released in 1983, directed by Nikolay Volev, starring Todor Kolev and Itzhak Fintzi.

The screenplay is written by Nikola Statkov based on his short stories “The Outlander” and “The Mister”.

The main character Purko (Todor Kolev) is a poor peasant with many children, constantly starting extravagant initiatives to get out of poverty during the hard times between the two world wars.

This is the second out of three super hit films, featuring Todor Kolev in the leading role, released during the 1980s.

The performance by Kolev, with a reference to the great comedians of the silent cinema,[1] received a broad critical acclaim.
