Pictured is a 27" x 39" Egyptian one-sheet poster designed by Mohammad Abdel Aziz to promote the 1962 124-minute Kamal El Sheikh black-and-white film Chased by the Dogs [al-liss wal-kelab] starring Shadia and Shukry Sarhan based on a story by Naguib Mahfouz with screenplay by Sabry Ezzat, dialogue by Ali El Zorkani and cinematography by Kamal Korayem. Plot summary: Said Mohran [Shukry Sarhan] worked as a house servant in a student's home. Because of his mother's illness he had to steal a watch from a student. Raouf Alwan [Kamal al-Shennawi] got involved, tried to save him and took him as a protege in crime. Said became a big thief. His assistant Alish [Zein El-Ashmawy] informed on him so he would be free to marry his wife Nabawiya. When Said Mohran got out of prison his goal was to take revenge against Alish and Nabawiya, but he killed some innocent people instead by blindly shooting at window silhouettes, because Alish and Nabawiya had fled their home. Said ran away and became a fugitive. Raouf, who had become a famous journalist, denounced Said in newspaper articles, turning public opinion against him. Said confessed what he had done to his former lover Nour [Shadia] and lived in her house. He also sought solace with a Sufi sheikh but found no relief. Although Nour tried help him, the police found his hiding place and killed him on a mountain during a chase.
