Streets of Fire [shaware men nar] (Nour El-Sherif) (R1994) Egyptian film poster

This film is based on Billy Wilder's Irma La Douce with a story that begins in 1942 beside the Suez Canal in the city of Ismailia Egypt. The poster measures 25.5" x 37" and was designed for a 1994 rerelease of Samir Seif's 1984 108-minute color film Streets of Fire starring Nour El-Sherif based on screenplay and dialogue by Ibrahim al-Mawgi and Ahmed Saleh with cinematography by Essam Farid. Plot summary: A policeman named Imam [Nour El-Sherif] was transferred from Ismailia to Cairo to work in a red light district. He fell in love with a whore named Nousa [Madiha Kamel] who worked with a local thug named Galal [Sayed Zayan], but Imam did not know Nousa was a whore. In an incident defending Nousa, Imam beat up a British soldier and then lost his job. He returned to the neighborhood looking for work, became a pimp and got into a fight with Galal. Imam won the fight, became the district's dominant tough guy and married Nousa. Later when prostitution was outlawed, Imam took to nightclub life and then joined revolutionaries fighting the British. A year earlier the 1983 Nader Galal film Five Doors Bar [khamsa bab] had also been based on Irma La Douce, set at about the same time in Cairo's Ezbekia district.

Street Player [الحريف] (Adel Imam) - (1983)

Street Player [al-harif] (Adel Imam) (1983) Egyptian film poster

Pictured is a 27" x 39" Egyptian poster designed by Samir to promote the 1983 Mohamed Khan 128-minute color film Street Player [al-harif] starring Adel Imam based on a story by Mohamed Khan and Bachir El Dik, screenplay and dialogue by Bachir El Dik and cinematography by Said Sheimy. This early film by Mohamed Khan was his only collaboration with actor Adel Imam. It is about a street sockball player named Fares [Adel Imam], based on the life of a real street player who was known as Barefoot Said. The film depicts his relationship with his divorced wife [Fardous Abdel Hamid], his son from that marriage and his employment situation in a shoe factory. The sets are realistic and true to the times and social class of Barefoot Said and his milieu. Plot Summary: Fares worked in a shoe factory and lived alone in a rooftop room. He had separated from his wife Dalal despite the love between them and their small son. He tried unsuccessfully to restore their relationship. Rizq [Abdula Farghali] bet on him when he competed in matches and won the lion's share of the gambling proceeds, but gave little to Fares. His neighbor on the roof committed murder and the police came to arrest him. Fares was fired from his job because of negligence. His colleague Soad tried to get close to him without success because he loved his divorced wife. He met his old friend Shaaban who had acquired an auto dealership; Shaaban agreed to work with Fares and gave him a Bijou automobile. Fares returned to Dalal so they could do some errands together and educate their son. He also played in a sockball tournament.
