Thirsty for Love-Sex and Murder Online!
I wrote about Thirsty for Love-Sex and Murder ( in its native tongue, Aska Susayanlar) before (read about it here). It is available at Google Video. Loads of fun and only an hour long, I highly recommend it. Subtitled.

Thirsty for Love, Sex, and Murder
Turkey's 1972 thriller, Thirsty for Love, Sex, and Murder (aka Aska susayanlar seks ve cinayet, directed by Memet Aslan) is a pleasurable novelty. It is a thrill to see another country's take on familiar genres and formats, adding their unique cultural stamp. The fact that Thirsty for Love is from a country that I know so little about makes it especially delightful. I know nothing about the Turkish film industry's output form the early 1970s.
At heart, it is a melodramatic, giallo, from Turkey.
