Issued during the golden age of classic studio cinema, this publication is a remarkable example of early Turkish movie-related publishing and stands apart for combining fiction with extensive visual material from the film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"506\" data-end=\"917\"\u003eSet in 17th-century England, the story follows a woman drawn into a double life of aristocratic respectability and outlaw rebellion. Beneath the surface of privilege and social decorum unfolds a tale of deception, passion, danger, and moral transgression. The heroine’s descent into secrecy and criminal adventure gives the narrative a dramatic energy that blends historical romance with swashbuckling intrigue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"919\" data-end=\"1222\"\u003eFar more than a costume drama, The Wicked Lady became famous for its dark anti-heroine, unusual for its time, and for its mixture of gothic atmosphere, rebellion, and emotional intensity. Themes of forbidden desire, identity, and defiance run through the story, helping explain its enduring cult appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1224\" data-end=\"1606\"\u003eThis Turkish edition is especially significant because it includes numerous film photographs throughout the book, making it both a literary adaptation and a richly illustrated piece of cinema memorabilia. It also connects to Leslie Arliss’s celebrated film adaptation, starring Margaret Lockwood and James Mason, regarded as one of the great British box-office successes of its era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1608\" data-end=\"1759\"\u003eFor collectors, this is an exceptional early Turkish film publication, combining vintage illustrated content, historical cinema interest, and scarcity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2413\" data-start=\"2165\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(170, 26, 23);\"\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1776\" data-end=\"1806\"\u003e• Author: Lady Eleanor Smith\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1808\" data-end=\"1848\"\u003e• Title: Yılan Kadın (The Wicked Lady)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1850\" data-end=\"1885\"\u003e• Publisher: Kemal Film Yayınları\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1887\" data-end=\"1902\"\u003e• Date: 1940s\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1904\" data-end=\"1938\"\u003e• Edition: First Turkish Edition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1940\" data-end=\"1961\"\u003e• Language: Turkish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1963\" data-end=\"2002\"\u003e• Format: Illustrated Paperback Novel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2004\" data-end=\"2057\"\u003e• Genre: Historical Romance, Adventure, Film Tie-in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2059\" data-end=\"2132\"\u003e• Main Theme: Double identity, rebellion, passion, and outlaw adventure\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2134\" data-end=\"2167\"\u003e• Setting: 17th-century England\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2169\" data-end=\"2238\"\u003e• Adaptation: Based on Leslie Arliss’s classic film The Wicked Lady\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2240\" data-end=\"2285\"\u003e• Film Cast: Margaret Lockwood, James Mason\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2287\" data-end=\"2353\"\u003e• Special Feature: Includes numerous film photographs throughout\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2355\" data-end=\"2454\"\u003e• Significance: Rare early Turkish illustrated film tie-in tied to a major British cinema classic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2456\" data-end=\"2550\"\u003e• Collector Appeal: Scarce Turkish cinema collectible from the golden age of film publishing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2552\" data-end=\"2604\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e• Condition: Rear cover tear present \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turkrex Collectables","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48410618593418,"sku":null,"price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/3687\/7450\/files\/1_b5579ec8-c069-4f0c-a60e-7d71997cfe6f.jpg?v=1776951037","url":"https:\/\/turkrexcollectables.com\/products\/lady-eleanor-smith-the-wicked-lady-1940s-1st-turkish-book-turkey-movie","provider":"Turkrex Collectables","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
