Zavallılar is a 1974 Turkish film directed by Yılmaz Güney and written by Yılmaz Güney and Atıf Yılmaz. The cast includes Yılmaz Güney, Yıldırım Önal, Göktürk Güney, Hülya Şengül, Hakkı Güvenç, and Güven Şengil. It was produced by Güney Film.
After Güney had begun to shoot the film, he was imprisoned for sheltering anarchist students at his home. The destiny of Zavallılar seemed to be similar to other unfinished films such as Sergei Eisenstein’s Que Viva Mexico! and Marilyn Monroe’s ''Something's Got to Give''. Güney planned to finish this film after his release, but as he wound up behind bars, he was unable to finish it. However, in the archives there were about 30 minutes of footage, and Atıf Yılmaz built upon this with fundamental changes in the scenario. Thus, Zavallılar has a reputation as being an “outer” film of the man from the “inside”.
