Port Said بور سعيد (Farid Shawqi) - (1957) Egyptian rerelease one-sheet

Port Said (1957) - (Farid Shawqi) Egyptian one-sheet

This is a 27" x 39" undated rerelease Egyptian poster designed by Abdel Rahman to promote the 1957 134-minute Ezzel Dine Zulficar black-and-white film Port Said starring Farid Shawqi based on story and screenplay by Ezzel Dine Zulficar with dialogue by Aly Al-Zarkani and cinematography by Abdelhalim Nasr. This film is considered a milestone in the career of its star Farid Shawqi, the breakthrough where he was first recognized as a major Egyptian star and also the point where the quality of his work began a long decline. Plot summary: The film provides a nationalistic and patriotic view of the 1956 Tripartite Aggression in the Egyptian city of Port Said, with the Egyptian resistance shown as unfailingly heroic, righteous and morally victorious. It is populist war propaganda.

Cast and crew: Farid Shawqi, Hoda Soltan, Leila Fawzi, Shukry Sarhan, Zahrat El-Ola, Amina Rizk, Hussein Riad, Seraj Munir, Ahmed Mazhar, Tewfik El Dekn, Zeinat Sedki, Rushdy Abaza, Ezzel Dine Zulficar, Abdelhalim Nasr, Aly Al-Zarkany, Kamal Yasseen, Naima Wasfy, Kamal Hussein, Nour El-Demerdash, Adly Kasseb, Suleiman al-Guindy, Reyad El Kasabgy, Shafik Noureddin

At the club he met two girls named Karima and Mervat who wagered with each other they could make him cut off his beard. Karima asked him to do this, and when he refused she threatened to kill herself. She jumped into the water. He jumped in to try to save her, even though he was not a good swimmer, then she saved him and got him out. The water had removed his beard and moustache and he was obliged to admit to her that they had been fakes.
