About The Claw
After completing his education, a young man named Pertev came to Istanbul and settled in a hotel in Moda. One day, while walking with his fiancée Necmiye Hanım in Moda, an influential figure named Şekip Paşa saw Necmiye Hanım and took a liking to her. He had Pertev Bey arrested on charges of carrying dangerous documents. He managed to bring Necmiye Hanım to his own home with a letter written in Pertev Bey's name. Necmiye Hanım's neighbor was a gangster named Küçük Cemal. Upon learning of Pertev Bey's arrest, Cemal senses an attempt to attack Necmiye Hanım's honor. Through his friend Eftalya, he learns that Necmiye Hanım has entered Şekip Paşa's house. Together with a few friends, he raids the house and manages to rescue Pertev Bey, who is being held captive by Necmiye Hanım and Şekip Paşa, and escape with him.
Directed by Sedat Simavi, The Claw leans on a strong ensemble — Bedia Muvahhit, Raşit Rıza Samako, Eliza Binemeciyan — 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 drama titles of 1917.
