A Native-Turkish Movie Lover's Comment: "This is one of the best movies of 1973 -- a joy to watch. Note that the film contains numerous (uncredited) musical clips belonging to the Raymond Lefevre orchestra." Thanks to sinematurk.com. Plot Summary: A woman (Bahar Erdeniz) is falsely accused of adultery and jeered out of town, leaving her adolescent daughter (Zeynep Değirmencioğlu) behind. Trying to forget the past, Bahar becomes a successful model in the big city, but one day her now-budding mid-teen-age daughter shows up on her doorstep. Bahar rejects Zeynep at first, but once they are reconciled, the daughter concocts a vengeful (and deadly) plan to expose her mother's false accuser. Plot Highlights: Her husband's 'best friend' (Mesut Engin) wants Bahar for himself. So, when the husband is called away for a late night business meeting, Mesut takes the opportunity to feed Bahar a 'Mickey Finn.' After she passes out, he poses her in bed with him -- so that her husband may see them upon his return from the business meeting. (Surely, Mesut reasons, that will cause the happy couple to divorce -- which will give him the chance he's been longing for.) During husband's return trip from the meeting, he is injured in a car accident -- and when he is brought home bruised and bleeding -- he finds his drugged wife posed in bed with his friend. The sight sends husband into a frenzy and he commits suicide... off-stage we hear a single pistol shot. The suicide was more than Mesut bargained for, so he stands aside as Bahar is falsely of accused of adultery, and jeered out of town -- leaving her young daughter behind. To be continued...
