About Satın Alınan Koca
A young and handsome novelist stays at a boarding house and tries to find the money needed to treat the illness of Ayşe, the owner's young daughter, but is unable to do so. Just then, he is offered money to marry the beautiful and spoiled daughter of a very wealthy family. He accepts this strange offer on the condition that he will only take the money and use it to pay for Ayşe's surgery. The young woman and man initially dislike each other, but eventually fall in love.
Directed by Duygu Sağıroğlu, Satın Alınan Koca leans on a strong ensemble — Fatma Girik, Cüneyt Arkın, Sadettin Erbil — 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 1971.
