Eagle of the Mountains (Dağların Kartalı) (translated)
Feyzi Tuna both wrote and directed Dağların Kartalı (Eagle of the Mountains), a Turkish film from 1970. Combining adventure with an emotional streak, it follows two close friends who are torn apart after a robbery. It is a 90-minute colour picture. Memduh Ün produced for Uğur Film, and Gani Turanlı was the cinematographer. Filming took place among the rocky landscapes of Cappadocia.
The heroes, Şehmuz and Ökkeş, are old friends who pull off a robbery and vanish. When the gendarmerie finally tracks them down, they draw lots and Ökkeş goes off to find a vehicle, but he never returns. Şehmuz is caught and jailed, and turns bitter toward his former friend. In prison he befriends Kerem, and as soon as both are free they set out to look for Ökkeş. Yet when Şehmuz meets Ökkeş's daughter Suna, all of his plans change.
Ayhan Işık plays Kara Şehmuz, Kadir İnanır is Serçe, Hayati Hamzaoğlu is Parlak Ökkeş, Hülya Darcan plays Ökkeş's daughter and Bilâl İnci is Gaffar. As was common in the Turkish cinema of its day, many performers were dubbed by voice actors afterwards, with Acar Film responsible for the dubbing and preparation work. The poster was designed by Apa Ofset Basımevi.
