Plot
A film directed by Memduh Ün, released in 1966, which brought him the Golden Orange award for best director at the Antalya festival. The drama deals with questions of honour and family in a Turkish community, and is typical of the melodramas that dominated the popular cinema of the period. Details of its plot are sparse, and it is remembered mainly for the recognition it brought its director.
Sinekatalog’s take
Memduh Ün's drama of honour and family in a Turkish community won him the Golden Orange for best director in 1966. Earnest and typical of Yeşilçam melodrama of its decade, it is a period piece that has dated.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
