Memduh Ün directed the Yeşilçam love drama Cevriyem from a screenplay by Safa Önal, and it opened on 1 November 1978. Shot in colour on 35 mm, this sentimental drama runs 84 minutes. Türkân Şoray and Kadir İnanır share the leading roles.

Its starting point is the meeting between a fugitive man and the woman who gives him shelter. Fleeing the police after a tavern brawl, Cevriye (Türkân Şoray) takes cover and finds herself face to face with an armed, wounded man. She takes him home and tends his wound, and although she hears he is accused of murder and theft, she does not alert the police. She and the stranger, whose name she later learns is Ahmet (Kadir İnanır), grow close and look for a way to stay hidden from the police.

The cast also includes Neriman Köksal, Mürüvvet Sim, Erol Taş as Inspector Cemil, Reha Yurdakul as Ahmet's father, Süleyman Turan as his brother, Ali Şen as a fisherman, Alpay İzer as a doctor and Leman Akçatepe. İrfan Ünal produced it for Akün Film, Cahit Berkay wrote the music and Kaya Ererez was the cinematographer. Some actors were dubbed, as was usual then: Nevin Akkaya voiced Şoray and Pekcan Koşar voiced İnanır.

Through different eyes

Yeşilçam Nostalgic A viewer raised on the classics, looking for warm storytelling and strong acting.

Seeing Türkan Şoray and Kadir İnanır in the same film is a return to those fine years when two great Yeşilçam stars shared the screen. Safa Önal's story opens with a woman on the run from the police opening her door to a wounded stranger, a start in which compassion comes before the law, very much in the spirit of the period. Cahit Berkay's music gives the film a warmth of its own. That Şoray's voice belongs to Nevin Akkaya may seem odd to today's viewers, but for anyone who knows the dubbing tradition of those years it is part of the film's particular flavour.

History & Society Lens Asks about the period, the social background and what the work reflects.

Cevriyem centres on a figure Yeşilçam loved, the woman living on society's margins: the story opens with Cevriye fleeing the police after a tavern brawl. Her choice not to report a man accused of murder and theft highlights a solidarity among people left outside the system, who act on conscience rather than law. The police here are a force to escape, not one that protects. On the other hand, the story tends to cast Cevriye in the mould of the self-sacrificing woman who gives a man shelter, and her own story risks being overshadowed by Ahmet's flight.

Action & Thriller Fan Puts pace, tension and set pieces first; little patience for slow drama.

A fugitive, an armed and wounded man, and an inspector on their trail: on paper everything is set for suspense. Having Erol Taş in the cast as Inspector Cemil raises hopes of a chase too. But this is a romantic melodrama, with the weight on hiding out and growing close. Come for a cat-and-mouse game with the police and you'll mostly find yourself in emotional scenes.
