Shame on You (1954) - (Ismail Yasseen) Egyptian film program

Pictured is a first printing of an 8" x 11" 8-page Egyptian film program to promote the 1954 92-minute Essa Karama black-and-white film Shame on You [haram aleyk] starring Ismail Yasseen based on screen play, story and dialogue by Gamal Hamdi with cinematography by Richard Salama. Parts of the story are also taken from the 1948 Charles Barton film Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein. Plot summary: Ismail and Abdou [Ismail Yasseen and Abdel Fatah Al Kasri] are working in a shop that sells antiquities. One day they receive a crate containing a mummy that looks like Frankenstein. A a sorcerer [Stephan Rosti] says he will be able to bring the mummy back to life by replacing its brain with Ismail's brain. The plan goes awry when Ismail and the mummy are laid out side by side for the brain transfer, because the mummy throws off its restraining straps and goes into a zombie-like Frankenstein walk, making various clumsy assaults on the people and fixtures that disrupt the proceedings. Apparently what really brings the mummy to life is the fear of receiving the brain of Ismail Yasseen! Alternate English titles are Ismail Yassin Meets Frankenstein and Ismail and Abdel Meet Frankenstein.

Pictured is an undated Egyptian rerelease poster designed by an unknown artist to promote the 1960 Essa Karama 109-minute black-and-white film My Mother-in-Law Is an Angel [hamati malak] starring Ismail Yasseen as Khamis based on a story by Essa Karama with screenplay and dialogue by Abdel Fattah El-Said and cinematography by Satrollah Karama. Plot summary: Khamis the undertaker asked his girlfriend the maid Bar'u'a [Khayria Ahmed] to tell him about it if there were deaths in any of the homes where she worked so he could make the funeral arrangements. The maid told him her boss Sabri [Youssef Fakhr Eddine] had died of grief because of what his mother-in-law Fayeqa Hanem [Marie Munib] had done to him, and his wife was in mourning. Khamis went to the home to make the necessary funeral arrangements without knowing that Sabri was only pretending to be dead on the advice of his friend Kamal [Kamal Hussein] to get revenge against the mother-in-law and so he could find out how much his wife Samia [Amal Farid] loved him. Sabri also tried to frighten his mother-in-law by pretending to be his own ghost. In a comedic mishap Khamis knocked the supposedly dead Sabri unconscious, then put him in a cupboard and replaced it with another cupboard; when he was accused of losing the corpse he tried to find the original cupboard in a cinematic shell game with many identical antique cupboards similar to the one shown on the poster, in a hotel and at a furniture auction. When Samia tried to kill herself Sabri knew how much she loved him so he stopped pretending to be dead and hurried back home, where the mother-in-law went through a final scare scene when he reappeared.
