Final Movie Installment Movie Comedy for Grownups
In Part 8, the newlyweds Bülent Kayabaş and Zerrin Egeliler were about to reach the peak moment of their marriage consummation, when who should reappear on the scene but husband #1, Hadi Çaman -- apparently returned from the dead! How could that be?! Well, if you can suspend your disbelief for another moment... As Hadi Çaman barges happily into the family home, he is first encountered by his mother-in-law (Mürvet Sim), who is dumbstruck at the sight of him. We soon learn from the film-story that Çaman had been very lucky... he'd missed the departure of the fatal flight that was lost at sea. And he'd only just arrived on a replacement flight. As his mother-in-law faints at the news, Hadi proceeds to the master bedroom... where he confronts his best friend abed with his wife! See what happened the night that Hadi Çaman 'returned from the dead' -- a 1.2MB Windows Media Video .WMV file. That bedroom confrontation shocks the newlyweds Bülent Kayabaş and Zerrin Egeliler as much as it disappoints Hadi Çaman -- and it leads to a family showdown in which Hadi learns everything that has happened since his supposed demise. (See movie-photos at upper left.) Subsequently, some testosterone-driven shenanigans ensue, with both men trying to win Egeliler's favor... until even she gets fed up -- and decides to leave the dilemma up to the judgement of the marriage court. The judge (Yüksel Gözen) tries patiently to listen fairly to all sides of the case. But, finally, he's unable to decide in favor of one petitioner over another. So he decrees that Egeliler be divorced... from both men! With that decree, both former husbands are forced to vacate the family home -- and they go to live in a hotel, in the same room together. There, they make a very odd couple, bickering and tossing 'obscenities' at each other -- both still very much determined to compete for and win back Egeliler's affections. To insure that one rival can't get the jump on the other (and run back to Egeliler), they tie each other to the ends of the same piece of rope. When Çaman declares that he needs to visit the loo, Kayabaş lets him go... but only after securing the rope to the WC doorframe. The minutes pass and Hadi doesn't emerge from the loo -- and Bülent becomes worried for his old friend's well-being. Suddenly realizing that his love for his dear friend is greater by far than his attraction to Zerrin, Bülent becomes frantic at the thought that Hadi may have died on the other side of the locked door. Bülent begins to animatedly shout and bang the door, begging Hadi to come out -- but not even a whisper can be heard on the loo side. Finally, in a state of panicked desperation, Bülent yells, "I'd rather die before letting anything hurt my old pal Hadi." With those 'dramatic' words still ringing in the air...the loo door cracks open and Hadi peeps out, saying, "Is that a promise? You won't change your mind, will you?" With that bit of pithy dialog, the movie whisks us back to the family parlor, where we first see Bülent's Photo Portrait on the fireplace mantle! (See movie photo, left.) He's kept his unselfish sacrificial-promise to Hadi, it seems. And as the movie-camera-angle widens, it's Bülent's turn now, to look on animatedly from his own framed portait, lending encouragement and giving his blessing to the proceedings... as Hadi and Zerrin are remarried by the magistrate.
And that leads the newlyweds, later that evening, to the bridal chamber -- where new bridegroom Hadi Çaman proves to be a lot less nervous and reluctant than he was the first time around. As this super-confident new Hadi Çaman (sipping a glass of Johnnie Walker Red) watches Zerrin Egeliler's now-familiar striptiz performance, the curtain falls on director Ülkü Erakalın's But let's not leave Zerrin Egeliler quite yet...
