Bad Guy [الفتى الشرير] (Nour El-Sherif) - (1989) Egyptian Film Poster

Bad Guy [al-fata al-sherrir] (1989) - (Nour El-Sherif) Egyptian film poster

Pictured is a 27" x 39" Egyptian poster designed by Hassan Mazhar Gasour and Anise to promote the 1989 105-minute Mohamed Abdel Aziz color film Bad Guy [al-fata al-sherrir] starring Nour El-Sherif based on the 1983 Brian De Palma film Scarface with screenplay and dialogue by Basyouni Othman and cinematography by Kamal Korayem. Plot summary: This film is not as realistic as Scarface, the sets and production values are cheaper, Cairo bears very little resemblance to Miami and Nour El-Sherif, great as he is, is no Al Pacino. However it roughly follows the original story line, consisting of a series of loosely connected bitter disputes and violent clashes culminating in a mass armed assault on a sumptuous mansion. In this narrative Salah [Nour El-Sherif] is given a seven-year prison sentence for manslaughter. In prison he meets Said [Ali al-Hagar] and a strong friendship grows between them. When Salah gets out of prison he cannot find a job so he takes up dealing in currency for a trader. He gains the trader's confidence and becomes wealthy while working for him. Salah discovers that his girlfriend Elham [Noura], for whom he has been searching since his release from prison, has married Zohdi [Mohamed El Dafrawy], an important crime boss. He fights with Zohdi over Elham. Said tries to convince Salah to give up the life of crime and stops working with him. Zohdi's gang fails in its attempt to kill Salah and its members are all arrested. Salah marries Elham after her divorce from the arrested Zohdi. She also tries unsuccessfully to convince Salah to give up his life of crime. Members of Zohdi's gang raid the home of Salah and Said; Salah defeats them, Said is injured and Salah continues his criminal activity.

Sunstroke [ضربة شمس] (Nour El-Sherif) - (1978)

Sunstroke [darbet shams] (Nour El-Sherif) (1978) Egyptian film poster

This is a 26.5" x 38" Egyptian poster designed by Hassan Mazhar Gasour to promote the 1978 113-minute Mohamed Khan color film Sunstroke [darbet shams] starring Nour El-Sherif based on a story by Mohamed Khan with screenplay and dialogue by Fayez Ghali and cinematograpy by Said Al-Shiemy. Plot summary: This film is a remake of the 1966 Michelangelo Antonioni film Blow-Up. Shams [Nour El-Sherif] is a magazine photojournalist in love with a woman named Salwa [Noura], a woman with a salaried job who supports him in his work. Together they dream of big projects. Shams is called to photograph a sumptuous party. He happens to photograph some papyrus with words burned on it that are difficult to decipher. These words lead him to a gang led by a woman [Leila Fawzi]. This gang is smuggling rare works abroad and counterfeiting money. The gang begins to pursue Shams after he discovers its secret and the police are unable to reach this mysterious woman, who commits a series of murders. The man investigating Shams gives him a picture of the gang. The two of them look for Salwa after the gang kidnaps her but she escapes after fleeing on the Helwan Metro at night. The gangleader dies when she falls out the door from a moving train while Shams is chasing her and the police are able to catch the rest of the gang. Shams and Salwa resume their lives and are shown in a final scene walking together on the old elevated pedestrian walkway in Cairo's Tahrir Square.

This relatively unpeopled film relies heavily on night highway chase scenes, and other tense escapades in the metro, in train stations, on trains and in abandoned buildings. Nour El-Sherif and Noura move about a great deal on a small blue motorbike through various parts of Cairo and Helwan; these scenes are also shown in aerial shots. The poster shows the film's emphasis on various modes of transportation.

Cast and crew: Mohamed Khan, Nour El-Sherif, Noura, Leila Fawzi, Said Al-Shiemy, Tewfik El Dekn, Abel Salam Mohamed, Motafa Metwalli, Mahmoud Farag, Farouk Falawkas, Mahmoud al-Zoheiri, Amima Salim, Adib al-Tarabolsi, Mahmoud al-Gowhari, Hamdy Salem, Ahmed Hussein, Mokhtar al-Sayed, Abdel Hamis Onsi, Hussein Abdel Wahab, Zeinab Shamis, Reshwan Mostafa, Magdi Wahba, Hussein El-Sherbini, Mahmoud Farag, Hussein Oraby, Lotfy Mansour, Abdel Hamid Anise, Mansour al-Gowhari, Habi Gamil, Mostafa Qadri, Ezzat Fouad, Sayed Khatab, Zeinab Shamis, Reshwan Mostafa, Mohammadein, Lewis Youssef, Saleh al-Eskandarani, Mohammad al-Sisi, Seif al-Nasr, Farag Hamad
