I Would Give My Life for You (Hayatım Sana Feda) (translated)

Muzaffer Arslan directed Hayatım Sana Feda ("I Would Give My Life for You"), a 1970 Turkish melodrama and musical. The story weaves love, friendship, jealousy and sacrifice through nightclub stages and a singing contest. Türkan Şoray and Cüneyt Arkın star; Arslan also produced it for Sine Film.

Zeynep and Fatma, conservatory graduates with no one but each other, find work at a nightclub, where Zeynep's voice and Fatma's guitar fill the room. Harun, a wealthy, lonely businessman and composer who lives life fast, injures Zeynep in a reckless car race; she had been trying to save a child. Her sight slowly fails, she cannot find the 50,000 lira for an operation, and Fatma stays by her. Guilt-ridden, Harun helps under a false identity, posing as a blind composer and raising the surgery money through a singing contest. In the end Zeynep realises how the two men are connected.

Gülgün Erdem plays Fatma and Münir Özkul plays Mehmet. Arslan wrote the script with Bülent Oran, from a story by Arslan and Burhan Bolan. Süheyl Denizci and Norayr Demirci wrote the music; Necati İlktaç was cinematographer. Shot in colour on 35 mm and running about 83 minutes, it uses dubbed voices for many roles, such as Adalet Cimcoz for Şoray and Hayri Esen for Arkın.
