| Karaca Kaan Karaca Kaan (born Istanbul in 1958) was an erotik film star predominately -- though she did make one conventional film (in 1974) at the beginning of her documented-47-film career and one at the end (in 1982). Note: Kaan's own count of her films differs substantially from the documented count. "I made nearly 200 films, acted the lead role in 60 of them," she says. Karaca Kaan was a loving village-wife in Fırçana Bayıldım Boyacı (I Faint For Your Brush, Shoeshine Man) 1978 ![]() |

Plot Summary: In the Ottoman Age of Sultan Mehmet the Conqueror, the Sultan's Admiral is captured by pirates during the Admiral's return from a tax-collecting mission. The Sultan charges Kara Murat with saving the Admiral, his crew, and the booty. On the way to successfully fulfilling his mission, Kara Murat meets the enchanting pirate girl, Maria... Plot Details: It's the Ottoman Age of Sultan Mehmed/Mehmet II (aka Mehmet, The Conqueror or Fatih Mehmet or Sultan Fatih) circa 1460... The Sultan (who not only claims domain over Ottoman lands but also the islands of the Aegean Sea) has sent his Fleet Admiral Yunus Paşa (played by Turgut Özatay) on a 'tax collecting' mission to the islands. Having completed his job, Yunus Paşa heads for home, but his ship (now filled to the brim with loot, spoils, and booty for the Sultan) is hijacked and robbed of all its treasure by Kara Korsan (The Black Pirate, played by Peter Fabian) and his men. [The Black Pirate's patron is Prince Nikolas (Kayhan Yıldızoğlu), ruler of the Aegean Island of Chios, who resents paying tribute to Sultan Mehmet -- and who gives Kara Korsan's pirates free reign to pillage and plunder Turkish villages on his island.] When Sultan Mehmet gets the hijack news, he goes ballistic -- and charges Kara Murat (Cüneyt Arkın) with triple tasks to save his Admiral (and crew) from captivity, bring all the booty back, and ease the plight of the Turkish villagers on Chios. In a classic Ottoman ruse, Kara Murat (posing as 'Antonio', a Spanish brigand) lets himself be imprisoned in the same Ottoman prison cell with 4 of the Black Pirate's men, where he gains their trust. After a fake pre-arranged escape with his prisoner-pals, Kara Murat gets them drunk, learns the whereabouts of the Black Pirate's secret location, and returns with the drunkards to the pirate's den. He is challenged at the entrance by Maria (Sevda Karaca), a female pirate with dangerous appeal... (Another pirate, Vargos (Hüseyin Baradan), covets Maria for himself.) Continuing the original ruse, Kara Murat as Antonio is allowed by Kara Korsan to join the band of pirates -- after the 4 freed (and now sober) pirates vouch for him as their saviour. Kara Murat finds Yunus Paşa and his crew enchained -- now galley slaves on one of Kara Korsan's galley ships -- but our hero has to bide his time. Kara Murat proves his mettle in battle when Kara Korsan's single galley routes 3 enemy ships -- and, in the aftermath of the fighting, Maria's love-interest in Murat is seen to blossom. That night at the victory celebration, The Black Pirate takes Kara Murat as his 'right hand man' -- and Maria shows up in a bright red dress in his honor. Vargos can't take any more humiliation, challenges Murat -- and in the sword play that follows Murat makes a fool of Vargos, much to everyone's drunken delight. Murat slips away from the celebration with Maria -- and rows her back to the galley ship, where he declares his love for her. Then, like a true gentleman, he escorts her to her cabin, and leaves her there in a swoon. He's got work to do...He overpowers the single on-duty guard and releases Yunus Paşa and his crew. Together they surprise/capture the drunken Kara Korsan and his crew upon their return to the galley. The tables turned, Kara Korsan and his crew are placed in chains and made to do the rowing of the galley. Maria is torn between her love for Murat and her feeling that she has been deceived by him. And she is unable to kill him (with a hidden knife) when, in private, he embraces her -- and again declares his love. In a state of confused loyalties, she jumps ship, swims to shore, and informs on Murat to Prince Nikolas. Nikolas sends his naval captain (with Maria by his side) in pursuit of Kara Murat in a convoy of 4 galleons. Outnumbered and out-gunned, Murat wants to make a run for it the rest of the way to Istanbul...But Yunus Paşa's Ottoman pride won't permit it. And when Nikolas' convoy easily defeats the single galley... Murat, the Ottoman crew, and Yunus Paşa are all taken prisoner. The Black Pirate and his crew are released -- and on the voyage back to Chios, the pirates take turns torturing Murat. Maria (realizing the error of her ways) allows Kara Murat to escape in the dead of night, but sends him over the side with a curse... "I hate you. Go now -- I never want to see your face again." Vargos, observing this poignant scene from the shadows, runs to Kara Korsan and informs him of Murat's escape and of Maria's part in it. Kara Korsan takes her into custody, tying her to the mast in Murat's place. Meanwhile, Kara Murat makes it to shore after a long swim, finds his way to an Ottoman ally who provides Murat with a team of mercenaries and a ship. They return to Chios and, in the dark of night, they recapture the galley (with Maria still strapped to the mast). They release Maria and Yunus Paşa's crew again, but Yunus Paşa, himself, is not among the prisoners...having been imprisoned again, in the Prince's castle dungeon. Maria leads Kara Murat back to Prince Nikolas' castle where a celebratory ball is underway. Prince Nikolas proclaims The Black Pirate his new 'Fleet Admiral' to loud cheers from guests at the ball. Meanwhile, below floors in the dungeon, Murat and Maria find and release Yunus Paşa again. Murat sends Yunus Paşa and Maria back to the galley to ready it for sailing and await his return. Murat singlehandedly destroys the Prince's fleet in the harbor (by swimming ship to ship and setting off explosives) -- and kills both Vargos (in a pitifully short sword fight) and Kara Korsan (burying him up to his neck in the seaside sand to drown with the incoming tide, in the same manner as Kara Korsan has executed Turkish villagers earlier in the film). In the final scenes, Murat swims out to the waiting galley ship, receives congratulations from Yunus Paşa, and sets sail for Istanbul. Under heavy but ineffective cannon fire from Nikolas's castle, Murat (with Maria at his side), Yunus Paşa, and his crew all escape unscathed in the galley (which somehow transforms into a galleon) into the sunset -- with the booty!

| Kazım Kartal
| A prolific Turkish actor of 326 films/movies between 1963 and 2003 -- with two screen writing credits. Began his movie career in 1963 in a production of Hancının Kızı (The Caravansaray Keeper's Daughter aka The Innkeeper's Daughter). After 1963 he acted in upwards of 325 mostly conventional films (though he is well-remembered for his 'erotik' film roles too) -- in large and small roles alike. He died 13 August 2003 at the age of 67. In late career, he found work in TV serials -- the last of which was a starring role in TGRT's production of Kirve. (A 'Kirve' is a kind of godfather at a circumcision ceremony -- who often takes the poor young victim on his lap during the operation, whispering 'encouraging' words until the deed is done.) |

Minor porn star or cinematic Joan of Arc?
Death Threat... But these revelations didn't sit well the relatives back home in Turkey... Two-faced Male Viewing-Public... This threat on Kekilli's life was no joke, dear readers -- and, we think what Turkish film historian Cihan Demirci149 had to say on the subject is of much interest... On the one hand, we watch Sibel Kekilli's pornographic films like salivating wolves. On the other, we want to bring Kekilli to heel -- to make her pay for her 'sexual deviance'. Even a lot of us want to lynch her. But throughout her death-threat ordeal, Kekilli has held on tightly to her Golden Bear award-winning performance, weathering the storm of her critics. I read Kekilli's interview and she made it clear that, "I didn't naively make these [pornographic] films. I made them quite serious-mindedly. Afterwards, I saved myself from falling into an abyss. I knew what I was doing every step of the way." Demirci continues...Perhaps Kekilli wasn't a pornographic actress at all. Perhaps she was a symbol -- protesting against a [male-dominated Anatolian] 'society' that still turns a blind eye to the rape of its young girls by family members and family friends. A society of brothers, fathers, and uncles who beat them if they don't hide the traces of the rapes...even kills them. All in the name of 'honor'. |
Sibel Kekilli Filmography: Sibel Kekilli Conventional Film Plots: Duvara Karşı (German Title: Gegen die Wand; English Title: Head-On) with dialogue predominately in Turkish -- but also in German, and English in that order... starring Sibel Kekilli (as Sibel Güner), Birol Ünel (as Cahit Tomruk), and Meltem Cumbul (as Sibel's cousin Selma) -- written and directed by Fatih Akın in 2004. For very different reasons, the two main characters are suicidal when the film opens in Hamburg (after a Turkish-musical story-telling prelude performed along the Bosporus).

| Neriman Köksal Conventional Film and TV actress -- though she did appear in (at least) one erotik film in 1978 (see 'filmography' in column 3). Born Hatice Kökçü on 17 March 1928 in Istanbul. Köksal retired in 1995 after starring as Fikriye in a recurring role for the TV series Evdekiler (The Ones At Home). When she passed away in 1999, she had more than 180 film credits to her name. In 1999 Köksal adopted Nazli Buse Öylek, the 9-year-old daughter of Mustafa Volkan Öylek (though we don't know the background to the story). That same year, on 24 October, she passed away at the age of 71. During her final days, she was often heard to say, "Ölmek istiyorum, dayanamıyorum artik" (I want to die, I can't take it anymore). |
Especially during the 1960s and '70s, Neriman Köksal was one of Yeşilcam's notorious group of 'Bad Girls' which also included: Mine Soley, Aliye Rona, Suzan Avcı, and Sevda Ferdağ. Köksal began her film career as the Russian princess Nina in Çete (The Gang) in 1950. She was steadily employed thereafter in movies and, later, on TV... for the next 45 years. Köksal was known by the nickname 'Fosforlu' because of her hugely successful portrayal of Fosforlu Cevriye Necla (Phosphorescent Cevriye Necla) in the film Fosforlu Cevriye (The Phosphorescent Cevriye). [Note: Cevriye and Necla are both female Turkish personal names.] That film spawned two sequels starring the same lead actors -- which were also written and directed by Aydın Arakon...Kıtıpiyoz'a Tuzak / Fosforlu'nun Oyunu (Kitipiyoz's Trap / The Phosphorescent One's Game - 1959) and Fosforlu Oyuna Gelmez (You Can't Fool The Phosphorescent One - 1962) -- the latter film in which 20-year-old Fatma Girik appeared. Tanju Gürsu also appeared in the latter film... and he undoubtedly 'took notes' on lead actor Orhan Girşaray's performance, because 8 years later Gürsu starred in the remake of Fosforlu Cevriye (with its slightly different name [Fosforlu Cevriyem] and plot) -- surplanting Girşaray in the role of Kıtıbiyoz Çetin (Good-for-nothing Çetin).
