The 1979 film you are referring to is titled (originally Aga Düşen Kadın in Turkish, or sometimes appearing under the title The Trap ). This production is a classic example of late 70s international suspense cinema, often remembered for its tense atmosphere and the dramatic performance of its lead actress.

Watch a scene from the film where tensions rise in the village:

Back in her small studio, she threaded the tape into an old player and pressed play. The hiss of tape filled the room, then a voice, low and steady, began to speak in a language Leyla didn't know. It was warm, full of consonants that struck like stones and vowels that rose like breath. Somewhere near the middle of the recording, the voice broke into laughter, and for a moment Leyla could imagine a woman of that voice—older than the date suggested, or perhaps only ancient in the way voices can be when memory piles on memory.
