About Yahya Peygamber
The film depicts the life of John the Baptist. Zechariah becomes father to a son. They name him John. At the same time Mary, who is under the protection of Zechariah, gives birth to Jesus. The people think that Zechariah fathered Mary’s child and kill him for it. Fearing the violence of the people, Zechariah’s wife Elizabeth is forced to flee the town with their son, John. But when John the Baptist grows up, he’ll return to the people to spread the word of God. (Meltem İşler Sevindi)
Directed by Hüseyin Peyda, Yahya Peygamber leans on a strong ensemble — Yusuf Sezgin, Ayfer Feray, Cahide Sonku — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1965.
