Flirtatious Girl (Cilveli Kız) (translated)
Cilveli Kız is a 1969 Turkish comedy-drama directed and produced by Türker İnanoğlu from a screenplay by Fuat Özlüer, starring Kartal Tibet and Filiz Akın.
Kiraz is a lively young street vendor in a poor Istanbul neighbourhood, scraping by selling razor blades, socks and laundry goods alongside three close friends. When she learns that her disabled father can only be cured by an expensive operation abroad, she despairs of ever raising the money. Meanwhile, the millionaire Hacı Hayrullah Akay is distressed that his wayward son Aydın intends to marry a nightclub singer. After a chance encounter with the peddlers on a ferry, he offers Kiraz a deal: she will move into the mansion next door, pose as a wealthy lady, and lure Aydın away from the singer. Desperate to pay for her father's surgery, she accepts, and her friends join the scheme as cook, chauffeur and servant. The plan works, but in the process Kiraz and Aydın genuinely fall in love. Furious that a street vendor might marry into his family, Hayrullah ends the arrangement and sends her away. It will take considerable effort from everyone involved to mend the young woman's broken heart.
